| Not to complain but where did the 31 point come from? I didn't see a light on that action.

| The US faces Hungary next. They feel really good about the match coming off what they were able to do this morning.

I'm staying up to watch the L4 match and then getting up in time to watch both medal-round matches.

| Dumb question....did the format for team change? It looks more like all 9 bouts run ti time now instead of whoever reaches the next multiplier of 5 first... | |

-B | That's because you're still under what, 35? Getting less than 5 hours of sleep, even on a weekend, is getting to be harder and harder. (and I'm not even quite 40 yet!) 
ps - I am not speaking for fdad's motivations, just my own, which means that since I will do both also means my weekend is going to suck from exhaustion.
