Re: Climbing and dumping not winning?

Additionally, they would have won if 269's ten point hanger hadn't broke in the first finals match. So, 2481 got extremely close to winning a regional as a climber-dumper.

I think the key for the climber-dumpers is they need to be able to do something else than just get those 50 points. Ideally, they can get 18 points in autonomous and then do a cycle or play defense before starting the climb. I'm not sure a pure climber-dumper can be a foundation of a winning alliance.
