: 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:

The first two matches (A plays one and B plays one) are to decide who gets to "set the bar" (using Team 126's terminology, THANKS AGAINS FOR PICKING US!!!).

Lets say A got a higher score than B in those first matches. A scores "60" in its next match. B, to stay in the finals, MUST get higher than "60" points. Then, if this happens, A must get higher than that score to "stay alive". It keeps going until one team can't top the other (by "team", I mean "alliance&quot.

: 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.
