573 had a surrogate match in The Curie division. That was annoying enough. It could have been made easier to swallow if we had another match close after it to catch up sooner to the other teams. This was not the case. We were behind almost all of the teams most of the competition and to compound it we were in the very last match. If that was not bad enough there is more to this story. Our last match was never scored. All 6 teams did not get any points for the last match of the day. The score table was informed of this while the alliance picking was going on but they did not do anything to correct it. They did finally find the mistake but if you look at Curies final standings you will see that we got a raw deal. The whole world will see us at #18 when in fact we should be 13th or 12th. I guess part of gracious professionalism is to roll over and play dead.
