Writing Wrongs after Bout One at NPS

So, we pulled a 2. Pretty crazy, see-saw night. We we were last place after the first round, 3rd place after the second round, 2nd place after the third round, and we stayed there thru the end. Our bout included us, LionLike MindState (Chino, CA), Salt Lake City and Toronto:

LionLike MindState - 100.6
Columbus Writing Wrongs - 98.8
Salt Lake City - 98.6
Toronto - 97.8

I figure, there are going to be about 15 Oscar Grant poems at Nationals this year and we ran into one with some judges that were hungry for a current event, social commentary piece. It was two points higher than anything else in the bout and sealed up the 1 for them.

Barb got the highest individual score of the bout and every performed pretty well, except for me. I dropped my poem in the first 15 seconds, but recovered and still pulled off a decent score, though it could've been higher. Never again yo, never again. Our biggest issue moving forward is that we were in the lowest scoring bout of the night, so that could hurt us if we tie for a semi-final spot.

We go again tonight with a stacked ass bout against Milwaukee (pulled a 2 last night), Urbana (3) and Seattle (3).
