I love that your willing to help other teams, I'm right there with you (if anyone need help at an event ill more than gladly do whatever i can for your team, flag me down. I'm the one with the beard). I would rather see every team, every match, do the best they can in the interest of wining.

Paul,
We're not looking to throw a match but offer help and support as well as some great strategy we learned this week in Southington. We forced team 195(Cyberknights) and their alliance to a third match in the finals and we will push just as hard this weekend. I agree we must all earn our place, but everyone can use a helping hand at times.
We went to Southington with 14 points so you're in better shape then we were. Make a plan and make it happen. I told our team if we kept playing like we did in Groton we would not make it to Boston. Our plan was simple, break down the points. We were shooting for 52-54 points and we got 59.
1)Win 10 out of 12 Qualifiers 10x2=20 points ---We won 10 for 20 points
2)Be a top captain or top pick 12-14 points ---We were #3 for 14 points
3)Make it to the finals for 20 points --We were finalists 20 points
Then we got a 5 point judged award for our total 59
The students pushed hard all weekend, they scouted better than they ever did and they made a lot of new friends. I look forward to meeting you this weekend. We're easy to spot, just look for the gearhead helmets.
