Quiz wasn't saying he hopes you do worse (which I'm sure he does, though). I'm pretty sure he was saying that his team would work hard enough to be able to beat you. Right, quizeta150 wrote:Last year, my B division team made it, not so sure about my C division team this year...

STOP COMPLAINING!
Our team came in 4th when I was a 6th grader. The very next year, we worked our asses off and made it to nationals, against a very strong field. The next year, we didn't make it, coming in 3rd. Last year, we came in second in regionals, losing for the first time in years. We studied and worked harder than we ever had, and won the state for the first time. You can't expect other people to lose for you, you just have to work that much harder.
In addition, another team who usually finished in the bottom half of the top ten stepped it up last year and this year, working incredibly hard, and finished in 4th two years ago, and 2nd last year.
