You may note that we have LOST each of those Match 1's in which we have played. Good luck, indeed.
You want our spot?
I'd rather have the extra prep time. To each, his own.
We're used to weird patterns this year, whether we are in control of their creation or not.
For instance, in addition to being in the first match at each event, we've finished as quarterfinalists at all three regionals this season, losing the first match, winning the 2nd, and losing the 3rd.
We've also won 2 awards at each event, with the UL Industrial Safety Award being the common component.
