So the “loser’s bracket” that Central was in (and where they played South) was not like the loser’s bracket in a double-elimination tournament, but more like a “consolation bracket” which gives each team the same number of matches. So for instance, if there were 4 teams in a tournament, the two winners in the first round meet to determine 1st and 2nd place, and the two losers meet to determine 3rd and 4th place. It also works well for 8 teams.

Well, there’s always the chance to watch Mildred lose (or lose it).

Am I the only one who didn’t realize that Central Elementary got knocked out of the finals? I sure thought this implied otherwise.

I like Nancy’s methodical approach to not learning.

C’mon, Nancy. You can learn that you never stood a chance once you see how much better the robots used by the schools in the finals are.

Not learning is always an option. You can do it quietly just as easily as making a fuss about it.
