Calculated mistake would fit better. The rankings I had with me on the field were not up to date, leading me to think we were 10th instead of 12th. The 3rd alliance captain was 22nd on our pick list and the 188-1507 alliance was very strong.

I have been to FLR twice and my pick list has never been a good predictor for the actual picking. (Probably because I don't know the background team relationships)
