229 most certainly did NOT lose regionals due to alliance partners. Whoever told you that was highly mistaken.
We had the PRIVILEGE of working with SIX exceptional teams this season: 1507, 772 at Rochester. 135, 1403 at Buckeye. 118, 312 at Championship.
During our regionals, these incredible alliances helped us earn TWO silver medals, an accomplishment every 229er is extremely proud of.
In the finals of Buckeye, we were outplayed by an OUTSTANDING alliance. We won the first match, but were fairly and handily defeated in the second two. I have a few friends from that alliance, and they certainly proved to be our betters. They earned it.
I certainly hope there is no one on 229 who would ever say "we lost because of our partners" because it is simply NOT true. We had one HECK of a season, and got the opportunity to work with some INCREDIBLE teams along the way. If anyone from 229 told you that, send them my way, and we will straighten things out; they are obviously misguided.
