It's not fair. it's not right, but stuff like this happens. If you don't get picked for finals tomorrow, get in those stands and cheer for those who did. Remember, this is FIRST.

He's right. My team's power cord disconnected during the hybrid period of the final match so we got second instead of winning, but stuff happens. You just accept it graciously, and keep cheering for others and yourselves. It's no one's fault.
