Thanks for the info. I was pretty sure that it was either 6 or 7.

I also commented that you (or someone else) have to beat alliance #1 eventually to win so might as well play them in quarterfinals.

It wasn't me, but that's neither here nor there. Your's was definitely a positive approach. :{D

... So our 1 point win to force quarter finals to a third game was extremely exciting!

I would certainly agree with that!
