First of all I hope Mrs.Poole never reads this post because the things I may say may offend someone. On Saturday, we won our first round robin. Round robins are practice rounds that determine who you will be facing off. We won the first round robin, and when we played the second round robin; the opposing team was already asked the question in the previous round robin which gave them the advantage. So they won the round robin. Later on when we had to play Edison Computech Team 1, the team I should have been, they won. The only reason they won the match is because the rules judge was texting on her phone when the other team buzzed in.
When you buzz in, you have two seconds to answer after the moderator has determined who has buzzed in. I might as well say who buzzed in, it was Nester. Nester buzzed in before any of the question was read. He waited about 4-5 seconds before answering. When the moderator asked the rules judge if it was a stall, the rules judge quickly stopped texting on her phone and put it in her pocket and answered saying that it was not a stall. After this had happened, we barely won the next 2 rounds. The loss had broken our self esteem, and we finally lost. Also, when we were playing EC team 1, Mrs.Poole was not aloud to talk at all. She broke that rule and said to us don't argue with the judge. In my opinion, she wanted Team 1 to win, and they did win. I asked her the next school day if she thought Nester stalled. She all of a sudden paused, and finally answered me and said no. This confirmed what I had thought was to happen.
