Tactical Error... Yes Was It Necessary...Most Definitely

John,

I must comment on a couple of things.

Yes, we were supposed to place a big ball on top of the goal with the bridge balanced. We have practiced doing that. However, we practiced this from the end of the bridge...Not the side of the bridge.

Bottom Line: We didn't get it done... We tried... We're sorry.

Second, that was the second match of the elimination round. We had to beat a score of 392! A score of 350 would not be enough. The plan the alliance had would get us 400 or 408. But the big ball was necessary for the alliance to have another chance.

Any score less than 392 would eliminate the alliance. That is why we needed to score with the big ball. Not because we were being selfish or greedy.

This year is different than past years. For example:

Team A goes first and scores 100.
Team B goes next and scores 95.
Team A scored higher so they go next and score 60.
Team B must score more than 100 for the round to continue. So even if Team be scores 95 again they would still be eliminated.

The method is not the same as previous years. Under previous years rationale, Team A won round 1, Team B won round 2. Let's play a 3rd round to determine the winner. Not true this year!!

Finally, thanks to Team 157 for picking us and to our partners Teams 131, 151, and 176. Sorry we let the team down. I wish things worked out differently.

Sorry Again,

Mike Ciavaglia


P.S. John, this was definitely not the case. See below.

: all about the strategy this year people... leave your ego at the door...

: Chaos, you got ripped off on that one
