Assuming that your alliance partners are killer shooters, they would be able to make up for a bunch of 1 pointers pretty quickly. Basically we figured that being able to score 1's would be fine and all but may not be the best thing in terms of alliance selection.

I do like the climb to level three and dump idea though. It's a great idea actually and one I wish my team had spent more time on.
Well I figured scoring 1ptns is better than just sitting on the pyramid the whole match since we aren't attempting to actually shoot the frisbees right now, and just dump them. However we could end up going with more of a shooter, this was just an idea we've had.
