I agree. Although our team did hand out flyers, mainly we felt it was a way to get our Name out there.

I found it funny, but one of our strongest points we chose not to include on our flyers. I'm referring to our "Magic Carpet" dubbed tethers by other teams. It was quite ingenious, and it worked every single time in the Champsionship that we used it. (we had a 80% success rate in the regionals) Our was basicly a peice of plastic that rolled itself out in the last few seconds of the match.

To clarify a comment posted higher, we actually seeded 7th, not 8th.

A second point i wish to comment on, I believe our alliance choices were pretty much nailed down Friday night. Our Stragey group reconviend about 11:00 on Saturday to make our final descion.

I don't know what the choices were, or the order that they were placed in, but I do know that the teams that we wanted, we knew were going to be picked early.

I don't speak for our team, but I personally like being that we scored high enough to pick, but I feel we do better as a Picked team, rather than a Picker.
