*There are some Georgia tournaments whose statistics imply higher values, but I'm pretty sure something wacky is going on, e.g. all correct buzzes before FTP earned power.

As a team that was on the lower end of the Top 32 (#30 seed), the Playoff phase was nice for us.

I am not sure what the exact answer line was since the reader paused for a while and accepted "burning yourself". I don't think it was a bonus part. It was in round 7, 8, or 9.
