Post-match breakdown

What we did well
  • Fast start

    Aaron took the lead-off 2-0 and set the tone right out of the gate.

  • Closed the door

    Peter took the anchor 2-3 — clutch in the closer's seat.

  • Sweep on the board

    Aaron blanked their opponent 2-0 — full leaderboard point earned.

  • Punched up

    Peter (SL3) took down a SL6 — the kind of W that swings a night.

What to clean up
  • 2 sweeps conceded

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

  • Right there, just short

    Only 2 points away from flipping the result. Every bonus and every game matters in nights this tight.
