Re: Lessons learned by teams for next year...
Here's a big lesson 1089 learned at their first Championship. We ended up seeded #1 and though our scouting team worked INCREDIBLY hard to find out which teams to pick, we still came up a little short. We took a lot of advice from a lot of other teams, but ultimately, we needed someone who had more experience. We needed to look at the top 8 and correct our list a little bit.
In Galileo we ended up running down the Top 8 list so we could break up "super alliances." What ended up happening, because we didn't discuss anything with other top 8 teams was we asked for seed 2 and they said yes (something we hadn't expected). Don't get me wrong, 1280 were great partners, and we were more than happy to be paired with them, but our team captain needed to be able to think on his feet a little bit more. He needed to realize which teams had these possible "super alliances" rather than just running straight down the list.
