Post-match breakdown

What we did well
  • Sweep on the board

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

  • Punched up

    Peter (SL3) took down a SL4 — the kind of W that swings a night.

What to clean up
  • Slow out of the gate

    Dropped the lead-off 0-4 — playing from behind all night is harder than it needs to be.

  • 2 sweeps conceded

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

  • Lost the heart-rate test

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

Key moments

  1. R1Lead-off goes to Jim-O-thy Droge 0-4. Aaron swims upstream from here.
  2. R5Anchor goes the other way (1-4). Final 1-4 on individual matches.

Next up9-14 loss, but sweep on the board is something to build on. Fix one thing, not five.
