Post-match breakdown

What we did well
  • Sweep on the board

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

  • Punched up

    Robert (SL2) took down a SL3 — the kind of W that swings a night.

What to clean up
  • Slow out of the gate

    Dropped the lead-off 2-4 — playing from behind all night is harder than it needs to be.

  • Couldn't shut the door

    Anchor went down 1-5 with the team match within reach. That's the one to win.

  • Gave up a mini-sweep

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

  • Lost the heart-rate test

    Aaron dropped a hill-hill 1-2. One ball away — sharpen the close.
