It is true, while the percentage of teams going into the playoffs is lower this year, with 40 instead of 48 - nobody has mentioned that the percentage of teams included in the finals and getting medals has dramatically increased to 10 teams from 6 last year.
The odds of your (or any) team walking away from a competition with a gold or silver medal has actually INCREASED this year, not decreased. Which I think is a decent trade off for a lower percentage of teams making the playoffs, at least that's my take on it.

Back to the brainstorming/design meeting & small parts catalog. Hope everyone has a great week,

Jason
