[thoughtful]

hey, i suppose you are a rookie team, and atleast hanging on the bar is pretty good for a rookie team. Now, the alliance thing depends on your seed(rnaking
) and you uniqueness, i some team thinks that they want that extra 50 points they will choose you, but remember there might be other teams who can hang and herd, and lifht the 2x too, but i hope it all works out for you. And you have a splendid time at competition filled with fun.
