There is still a luck factor involved, though. The #1 seed at IN State Champs was approaching a 200 match score in their second quarterfinals match when (in the last 5 seconds!) one of their alliance members accidentally knocked over two stacks of 6, topped and noodled and everything. Luckily for the alliance, they scored enough points that match to make it on to semifinals by a slim margin, and they got over that mistake and went on to win the whole thing.

Teams should be aware that mistakes/problems can happen even when you least expect them, and you should never take anything for granted, especially in matches as close as Einstein will be.
