Re: Why go over the bump

I really can't think of an amazing reason that all good teams must be able to traverse the bump, but it does depend a whole lot on strategy. In 2010, the last game with zones separated by barriers, 254 and many other teams like it decided to only travel through the tunnel, and they played magnificently. (My team pretty much decided that going over the bump that year was pretty much imperative for success.) 469 didn't even plan on switching between zones at all!
