Re: Winning strategies from winning teams

You are right about balancing on the bridge as making a major difference for winning teams...

The problem that we had was most times there was a ball under the bridge that didn't allow the bridge to come down all the way to drive up onto it and the lexan pieces that First put under the bridge to keep the balls from getting lodged didn't do much to keep the balls from gathering under the bridge.

Also, if we did get up on a bridge and a ball was under it, the refs disallowed the balance points because they claimed the ball helped to balance the bridge.

I wonder if anyone came up with a strategy to deal with getting the balls out from under the bridge...
