Transnational Open Teams

As Wayne has stated in the comments, Nic/Kamel and Jeff/Izzy had a shot at qualifying for the quarterfinals of the Transnational Open Teams in Shanghai, needing 3 solid wins (or 2 blitzes and a tie) in their last 3 matches.
Since I've been pretty hard on Nic/Kamel (I'd argue justifiably) concerning their Bermuda Bowl performance, I should point out that they played extremely well in this event, with only 2 negative Butlers (and both times Jeff/Izzy had worse Butlers.)
Nic and Kamel ended up with an average Butler of 0.65 and Jeff/Izzy struggled with an average Butler of -0.21.
Here's a little
spreadsheet of that team's performance.
