Post-match breakdown

What we did well
  • Closed the door

    Pete took the anchor 3-3 — clutch in the closer's seat.

  • Punched up

    Pete (SL4) took down a SL6 — the kind of W that swings a night.

  • Won the heart-rate test

    Aaron closed out a hill-hill 2-1. Mental game showed up.

What to clean up
  • Slow out of the gate

    Dropped the lead-off 5-2 — playing from behind all night is harder than it needs to be.

  • Conceded a sweep

    Steven got blanked — those are the matches that flip a tight night. Bench depth / pre-match feel matters.

  • 2 losses to lower SLs

    Meghan and Patrick both lost to lower-skilled opponents. Respect the handicap chart, then run the table.
