That's funny. After a terrible Friday of qualification matches, we were 2-4 and ranked 50th.
Coming into Saturday morning with 3 matches to play, my only goal was to showcase our scoring abilities and successfully triple balance in those 3 matches, regardless of winning matches.
Of course you have to balance your own needs with those of your partners. If we were all out of Top8 contention, I suggested we all try to highlight our abilities and triple regardless of the score. Only in our last match was 3322 ranked in the Top8. I let them dicated the strategy, since it was important for them to win the match.
We ended up winning all 3 matches...but only triple balancing in one of them, for various reasons.
