Especially when you consider one of 973's highest scoring and closest losses was against 254. Not to mention there is almost no incentive for 973 to throw matches if they're the first pick of the draft. The number one seed picks first.

2. Do you really want judges to be able to "do anything" to a team based on an alleged fishy looking hunch? What action could possibly be appropriate for a judge to take here?

The regional was a lot of fun and was really competitive.

The match you are referring to was Qual 27. 973 was having communication problems and was only alive for part of the match, our other bot I believe was also dead for some of the match. It was essentially 3 on 1 for most of the match and we almost won it.

I know 1671 is looking forward to playing in St. Louis.
