Our losses came when we were matched with non-cappers/hangers or with cappers/hangers who couldn't work. We were looking forward to nationals, where we figured that all of the teams that made it that far would be able to cap/hang consistently, but we lost in the finals after we were bumped up to seventh seed. Oh well
