If anything most teams at Bayou played defense way too much in qualification attributing to high penalties and low scores. Hopefully in future weeks teams will learn to play the qualifications without much defense.

Consistent scoring robots at bayou were difficult to find.

The top four ranked teams, 1912, 1421, 2587 and 2078 were the best scorers in the competition. So the rankings did an excellent job of vaulting those teams to the top.

Why none of these four top teams paired up in eliminations still boggles my mind !
