It was a level 1 match, but part of a "points series" leading up to the state section match, so people take it a bit more seriously than a "normal" level 1. I don't think you're being a dick at all, but from my view, since the popper didn't fall on the first good hit, my time on that stage was at least a second or two slower than it should have been, through no fault of my own. (I understand that the rules don't see it that way. Mostly I'm just salty about it and wanted to complain. )
