Your alliance (2024 ,192,8) lost the in the finals but you still should feel like champions for your fine preformance!!!!!!! Congrats to (100,254 115)for winning the regional,you cant take it away from you because of a bad call so enjoy the victory!!Remember the refs are human just like the rest of us,hopefully we all will learn from this. On a previous post by XAULZAN11 said in the Currie finals that (1732.67,48) had beaten (330 910 1523) in the second match . It wasnt 1523 it was 1270 who in turn got DQed on Einstien for tipping Beatty 71 while battling for the same ring ,another bad call but we had to accept it and move on to next match. GOOD LUCK to all of you the rest of the year.

Indeed. 8's defense was brilliant, and nearly won them the fourth match. Of course, it helps that the refs were not calling impeding at all, but this is taking nothing away from 8-for one, that rule would not have affected them most of the time, and recognizing the conditions is always a key part of any sport. In match 4, both red balls were in the same place (one flat, which was not replaced for a rather long time), and 8 just waited behind them, which almost worked. Congrats, and congrats to everyone else as well! Even though my team didn't do so well, the matches made it fun for everyone.
