Irene: How is your team doing in the standings?
Kent: They’re seeded sixth and they’re in a bracket with one of the best teams in the tournament. Our team has already lost to them.
Irene: I thought it was a double-elimination tournament.
Kent: It is. That’s the only reason they’re not out of contention for the title.
Irene: Why did the organizers get rid of the round-robin rounds?
Kent: I think it’s because they wanted to cut down on the number of games overall. I’m not sure.
Irene: Your team is the defending champion. What happened this year? Why aren’t they ranked higher?
Kent: They didn’t have a very good season. There were a lot of injuries, and as the coach, I had some run-ins with a couple of the new players. Let’s just say we had some clashes in personality.

Irene: What do they want?
Kent: Ice cream. Who knew six-year-olds could be so demanding?
