Might be better to examine what you guys did to put yourselves in the Q position, rather than the couple aw-***** boards.

Was this the difference in qualifying? I see that you were 2 points behind the last qualifying spot, but have no idea what the tie-breaking procedure is.

Phil had it partially figured out before Spain dropped from a lead which would have tied them with the Dutch (VP's). He got as far as figuring Spain to be 1.3333 in the plus on quotient, but I don't know what the Netherlands' numbers were. That was just before the 2nd to last board (not the given one).

Yes, I was crunching a spreadsheet and didn't see the Board 15 result.
