: I just saw the high scoring seeding match. It was just
: over 200 points. This seems very very low to me. I
: doubt that this would have been in the top 10 or maybe
: not even the top 15 or 20 scores at UTC.
The finals aren't scoring that high either. Scores so far being 120, 133, and 150.
One strategy I have noticed being used more (that I didn't see or, perhaps, didn't notice at the UTC New England regional) is "balancing" the bridge just by lifting the lip off 1/4" or so.
