and 340 pushed them right off the end of the bar.

sad part is, for all the other matches I saw 340 was happy to get on the bar and mind its own business - the other team started the shoving match

and lost.
Actually, we dropped down to the platform to try and push back, and then when we raised ourselves up, 306 was above us. When we pulled up, they came up with us. They had a solid arm, so when they came up, their hook was above the bar, and they fell off.

We hung in every single round. We'd deliver our hook and then play king of the platform. Seemed to work out well.
