20, 67, 365, and 1518 are undefeated so far.

Standings.
Thanks for posting this link to the standings!

I had looked at the standings before I left tonight, but had only focused on our own standing (which really kind of surprises me, to be honest). But checking this out again, I see that the team that helped us get started is #1! Wow! - and to think I saw them ingloriously lying on their side earlier today! No wonder everybody on this thread seems so quiet (dazed and confused?). Who would have thought the two Niagara County, NY teams would occupy half of the top four seeds, at this point?

I think back on the last month or so, practicing with #378 in an old fire house, on a floor that was barely to size of a field (if that), and not even close to level. Having various problems (that at least we never really solved). Congrats, Circuit Stompers! And Good Luck!


Oh, and as far as standouts goes, c'mon - #0020 was #1 practically all day, and was a member of more 80+ point alliances (of which there have been 13) than anybody (4 of them, two of which scored in the 90s).

Four teams had three 80+ alliances: #0067, #0191, #0378, #1126. Hey - there's #0378 again! They may hurdle backwards, but it looks like they're for-real, guys! I don't know how they're doing it, but my best guess for our own team is that our drivers are excellent, and work well with other alliance members. (We were only in two.)
