sometimes it is amazing what schedules can exist. My team in 2009 at worlds had the most amazing schedule from a qualifying point of view. This was back when OPR was pretty new, and at the end of practice day I ran the OPR calc on the freshly released schedule and it said we would rank 3rd. We were amazed, but somehow we never had to go against the top teams at all, and were paired with some great teams that year. 67 (IIRC) managed to lose a match against the OPR prediction and we ended up undefeated in quals and #2 seed on Galileo. 67 did go on to win the big show.

Keep praying to the RNGods.
