Re: How many keepers have been scored so far?

At Boilermaker, the #1 seeded team (1730, Team Driven from Lee's Summit, Missouri) was also the most effective scorer of keepers. I don't recall the number of keepers they scored, but I do recall that they attempted a keeper every time they took the field and succeeded much more often than they failed. Their 10-1 qualifying record and their regional win with 234/1555 speak (loudly) to support Gary's suspicion.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
