I find that an interesting hypothesis.

It seems to me Hybrid will be a huge part of the game, especially when it comes to acquiring and scoring balls from the alliance and coopertition bridge. If you have two alliances, both capable of hitting all 6 preloaded balls in Hybrid (like I'm sure will happen quite often), then acquiring an extra 24 points (12 from the coop, 12 from the alliance) seems like it would be huge. You start out teleoperated with your opponents in a 24 point hole that they have to climb out of. A very nice advantage to start with.

I'd like to hear your reasoning behind saying Hybrid will be less important. I definitely find it to be an interesting statement.
