If I may so humbly say, we had the best lift of the FLR, hands-down... And we weren't even close to seeing any viable situation where suspension was possible.

I was hoping we could have a match with you. I really wanted to be the first to get the 3 points! Come late friday night we had our hanger all worked out and beautiful. We could lift in 10 seconds or less from the floor in all of our three sat matches with ease.

Yeah, we grabbed onto the bar every match, the Friday matches we didn't set up in time or get a full lift. We worked very hard to get the lifter working by our last match Friday. But due to a strategy decision we did not lift our last match on Friday. But come Saturday we did the remaining 3 matches no problem at all. I wished we came up with that solution on Thursday.

If we only count our lifts on Saturday, I would think that we were the best lifter behind 1551. (or no?)
