I get what you mean by saying that you can slow down other alliances, but I compete in Michigan, and here, you almost always have to face 1 or more championship finals caliber teams in the district finals. You either win, or you lose, slowing them down isn't effective.

I forgot not everyone competes in this environment and my opinion doesn't count for everyone. But these are the conditions it was composed in.

Hmm, I think that we don't actually disagree here; both of us think that the strategy of supplying your own alliance with the other teams balls is a good way to do things. You call it offensive, I call it defensive- doesn't matter, still works.
