I'm not so sure. It seems that Curie has terrible, terrible luck. In 2006 the perennial Canadian powerhouse (1114) joined forces with the perennial Michigan powerhouse of More Martians (70) and the defense forces of the Delphi Elite (48). This alliance had Einstein written aaaaaalllllllll over it. They powered their way through the bracket, winning the first finals match with ease.

Then 1114's shooter broke. I watched from the stands, as we had just finished packing up our pit. I don't remember if it broke in F1-1 or F1-2, but a timeout couldn't fix it. They lost F1-2 by a hair, and lost by a decent margin in F1-3.

[EDIT]See Karthik's post below. My memory is failing me in old age. I suppose I should probably look these things up.[/EDIT]
