Regional Seeds
So I have been playing around, reading RSD (which always makes me feel dirty), looking up head to head match ups on UPA score reporter and generally obsessing about regionals.
A couple of thoughts:
1. It's almost impossible for us to draw Bond in pool play. This is both a good and a bad thing. Good because they have beaten us. Bad because we don't get to beat them and really break seed.
2. There's a good chance we'll be errantly seeded below Animal and/or MAC, maybe even Germ Circus. I am absolutely confident we can beat Animal. We played them close when our offense had power of the House Democrats. Plus, that woman who threw for 5 of their scores, is off playing for Red Fish in SF. I don't know much about Germ Circus, but they seem about like us, play great some games, play poor others. All our games against common opponents come from Chesapeake where we played poorly. I'm guessing we can take them, though I'll let Jared talk about that. Finally this team MAC. I've never heard of them, but it seems like everyone has decided that they must be good because they play in Olio's section. Right, that's worth jack shit in my mind. Losing to a good team does not a good team make. So we'll just have to see.
My guess is that we get seeded something like 11, 12, or 13. If that's the case there are some teams that are none too happy. If your easiest game is supposed to be BRDM you are hating your draw. If we're supposed to be the worst team in your pool you're going to have a hard time making nationals, because so help me god, we will make you earn every point.

I like everyone all riled up.
Time to fuck up some brackets.
we are, as paul says, THAT team. No one wants to draw us, and we fear no one. Oh, and people want to play for us. Including all the hot girls and boys. So I hear.
Brackets and seedings are out.

As I read it, it's double elimination from the main bracket, and then from then on you're playing for position, not to go to Nat'ls.
If we don't lose, it won't matter. Though, if we don't lose I'll have to take time off work to go to Florida. I guess that'd be alright too. Let's not lose. that'll make it really easy to figure out.
