I'm really shocked by the under-valuation of low goals on Archimedes. 5624 and 1391 played phenomenally in qualifications, running the fast low goal cyles that brought them success at their MAR district events. They were high on our pick list (we were ranked #10), and it's a shame they won't be on the field today.

I wish all the other MAR teams playing today the best of luck!!
It wasn't just Archimedes haha, we were ranked 14th and got passed up, and I think our performance was the strongest it's been this year. We pulled off quite a few upsets and our position 3 and 5 low goal autos were consistent the first time in ever. Oh well, that's how it goes. I believe it's because alliance captains wanted to go all in, win the division or nothing, and they realized low goals weren't enough to do that. It's a little disheartening, especially to see teams miss captures because they chose to run two high bots and a defense instead of one low goaler and one high goaler, but I can see why the choice was made.
