Pat,

Here's some info for you:

I'm tring to recall how many points we scored during our Q matches, by ourselves.

For the seven matches, I think that we scored about 87 points. This includes ball, ramp & hanging points.

We hung once, were on the ramp all 7 times, and scored about 47 points in balls during the qualification matches.

I think that we ended up ranked around 45. Our record was 2-5... but MOST IMPORTANTLY, we won our last two matches. We were improving with each match, except during our 5th match when we were with the Circuit Stompers... sorry Stompers!

What we did at the end of the day Friday and on Saturday was market ourselves to everyone in a top-ranked position. These teams have a difficult time picking a partner, and you must go to them in order to get noticed... especially if you're a new team.

This 'marketing' teaches our students some important skills... especially if they want to be in sales!
