Archimedes 2014!

I was just looking at our match schedule on the Google Docs pre-scouting spreadsheet and saw that our schedule difficulty was -39. I knew it was a tough schedule, but as I scrolled around, I saw that it was indeed The Toughest schedule on Archimedes.

After having a ridiculously tough schedule on Curie last year, I have to say that it is a bit frustrating. We don't mind being the underdog sometimes, it can be a motivating force. However, in a game that is so reliant on alliance partners, it can be a bit demoralizing.

I'm hoping that the flaws in using OPR to predict match outcomes are big enough to give us room to give us a fighting chance. Otherwise, we are just going to play our best, help our alliance partners as much as we can and hope for scouting magic.
