One little thing I have to explain - finals match 3, when everyone thought we got lured in to get the super cells scored on us... I had to do it. There were no balls on the field, we had 8 in our hopper, and real time scoring showed us as losing. Da bears were waiting in a corner to pin us against 217's trailer once we scored. I saw everything Paul was doing over there, but I had to go for it, at least at the time I thought I did. We would score 16 points (and we did) and pick up the lead... Then we had to hope they missed the super cells. If they missed the super cells, and we didn't score, we still lost (according to the real time... which means I had to make the score). We did what we did, but 217's alliance simply outscored us. Either way. It was awesome.

These two snapshots below show how the last seconds of the Curie Finals went down. 399 Scores about 20 points to take the lead. I think, you can see Paul of 217 looking at the clock. There are two empty cells on the rack foreshadowing the results. In the second photo, Team 399 is trying to pull out, 68 blocked them for a second but it was long enough for the 217 Payload specialist to reach for the super cells.

He scores both to win by 20 points as Team 399 gets away. Nice shooting, the odds did not favor him scoring both. If you watch the video [TBA], team 399 scores one or two more cells before the end of the match.

I really think this was a great match, and a lot of strategy went into the whole match that the audience does not see or know.

Thanks to Stephen from 188 for taking these great
action shots.
