Yes, it too bad that the Ticks got called on penalties in the finals for play that we felt was consistent with the way we played matches in the qualifying rounds. What we all have to remember is that these penalty calls are up to the discretion of the referees and we all have to respect their calls. Both matches were tough and both aliances played well. I hope our aliance partners understand and don't feel like we let them down. Sometimes the calls just don't go your way!

Nice job to both aliances in those two exciting QF matches!
