I think the number of people on the team is a distraction from the fact 
that you guys came in prepared and flat-out outperformed us.  I've been
on big teams before and it can easily make the situation worse than being
on a small focused team because it can be difficult to coordinate things
and make sure that everyone is acting effectively.  

Anyway, congrats on the win.  It was certainly well deserved and has me
thinking about things we could do better next time.  :)
