Upsets, Oh My!

[Andrew Schreiber]

Orlando reporting in — I honestly have no idea how our 8th seed alliance formed. We got into the scouting meeting and realized all three of us were solid shooters with 10 point hangs. Set strategy to be an offensive strategy (79 bouncing between harassment and scoring but focus on scoring) and ran that through.

79 hasn't won a regional since 2009 (hasn't won Orlando since 2006), 744 and 1772 had never won a regional. I understand my own team, but how 744 and 1772 have never won is beyond me. They were solid teams and were a genuine pleasure to work with.

Edit: I've been asked to also draw attention to the fact that not a single one of our teams was in the top 10. Our 8th seeded alliance was made up of a 13, 15 and 19 seed.
