Post-match breakdown

What we did well
  • Closed the door

    Mike took the anchor 3-1 — clutch in the closer's seat.

  • Refused to fold

    Down 2 at the low point and still found a way to lock in the win. Real grit.

  • Sweep on the board

    Patrick blanked their opponent 6-0 — full leaderboard point earned.

  • Won the heart-rate test

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

What to clean up
  • Slow out of the gate

    Dropped the lead-off 3-2 — playing from behind all night is harder than it needs to be.

  • Conceded a sweep

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

  • 2 losses to lower SLs

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