It turned out better than I thought. Sure, we're 32nd place out of 38 teams, but that's ranking points, which as the judges said, don't actually reflect the performance of individual teams. Instead, its the scoring points that count, and apparently we've got a disproportionately large number of scoring points compared to ranking, which means that its actually the randomly selected allies that our team ended up being placed with.
TL,DR: our team's losing, but its not actually losing because of a judging technicality.
Good enough.
I'll take it!
Good job. 
You'll show 'em what you're made of next time.
