#2. Cheval de frise at Palmetto. Broken twice. One on the panels snapped in two.

They are taking it out of play until they get a solution.

Make that 3. but it won't break anymore, it's taken out of the choices.

Fixed by adding a 1/8" steel plate across the whole bottom of the polycarb. After looking at the field drawings, I'm surprised that wasn't there from the beginning due to the countersunk holes for the bolts mounting the panels to the pivot bracket. They were reintroduced to the field around match 28ish (?) and didn't seem to have any issues from there.

1. Highest scoring match this year will be over 250, it will be in the QUALIFIERS of a division

2. In elims at a district event, the 1st seed will suffer a double or triple Tortuga, allowing the 8th seed to beat them out, and go on to be finalists at that event.

3. At champs, we will see almost no scaling (in both quals and elims) on one of the fields.

4. On Einstein, there will be an alliance that has no US teams.

I guess we'll have to find out
The way I see it happening in elims is if its 3 god-tier teams that just dominate the match.

Definitely during eliminations. People are forgetting that breaches and captures are worth straight points during elimination rounds.
