Our main strategy was to punch the tube to the end of the lane. Like everyone else we are now considering the virtues of a thrown tube. For those who cannot simulate a full field, Thursday will be prime practice time for human players. If it works out for us our designated HP is left handed. 
We are hoping that throwing tubes will not be necessary. We are preparing as if it will be. It is like an "arms race". We will do what we have to to keep up at the regional level. I'm fairly certain we will have to throw to be competative if we make it to champs.
