Saturday concluded with a lunch break at 1:30 PM due to the severe weather conditions . Given the lack of trees on the field , which was populated with metal shipping containers and junked cars , and its proximity to the substation , which was less than 200 feet away , safety concerns arose when lightning struck less than a mile from the field . Consequently , Big Bang and Giant decided it was best to resume the game on Sunday morning .
To compensate for the lost scoring cycles , Eli extended the game format by an hour , setting the start time for Sunday at 9:00 AM . This time , the Texan ( Akron / Red ) contingent arrived punctually , equipped with radios , phones for monitoring the scoring dashboard , and a well-thought-out plan for utilizing the Mechs . Despite facing a daunting 14-2 deficit with 28 potential scoring sessions remaining , the Texans demonstrated their resilience . Energized by the sentiment of “ You
Don ’ t Mess with Texas ,” they dominated the field on Sunday , deploying five synchronized Mechs and maintaining constant communication with Zoey , who was now tracking the WSS status .
In the event of a tied scoring session , it is considered a wash , with no points awarded to either side . If the overall score remained tied at the end , the game would conclude in a draw , like hockey . Aware of this , the Midwest contingent , after enduring Saturday ’ s rain-soaked battles , strategically played defensively , knowing they needed only eight more points to secure victory if all remaining scoring sessions ran without a wash . In the first two hours on Sunday , the score was 16-6 in favor of Ohmic ( Yellow / Midwest ), but Akron ( Red / Texans ) gained momentum . However , unlike Saturday , the Midwest , under the defensive strategy devised by Guru , capitalized on washes as advantages when leading . This approach reduced the potential total score , altering the score needed to win . By 11:30 AM , the Ohmic Enclave needed just 18 total points to clinch victory .
When Ohmic reached 18 points at 11:45 AM , the strategy shifted , aiming to disrupt Akron ’ s momentum . However , Akron was prepared for this , scoring consecutively without any washes in the following sessions , narrowing the gap to a maximum possible score of 18-17 by the end They requested additional time , confident in thei potential to stage a remarkable comeback . While no extra time was added , Zoey and her dedicated
team deserve recognition for nearly closing th substantial gap after the break . Their effort were evident in real-time , but ultimately , the could not surpass the formidable performance o Stayback and the Midwest contingent along wit the rest of the Ohmic Enclave completing th storyline of invasion from the Midwest . Althoug the leaderboard was continuously updated , th prize packages at the end were awarded to t top five combined scoring players from bo ground and Mech categories . Big Bang plans refine this system in the future to ensure fai comparisons of effort .
As the game concluded , players gathe for speeches from the command acknowledgment of the top five players , a prize raffle . Smokin Joe expressed gratit to all participants and saluted the Texans their spirited performance . Amidst lighthea banter , reflecting on Joe ’ s longstanding riv with Texans over the past two decades in t
