How do you figure? There are 45 alliance station discs across 3 teams. That makes for 15 per team. That's only one disc per team short of 4 loading/firing sessions of 4 discs per session. If you figure 20 seconds round trip per loading/firing session, that's 80 seconds of the match used up, plus 5 seconds for getting out of auton position and into loading position for the first time, leaving 35 seconds for hang and colored scoring. The absolute best teams will get one or at most two more firing sessions in. I think a majority of qualification matches will not deplete the alliance station supply of white discs.
