I suspect that match scheduling will be even more important than in recent years at CMP because of the nature of this year's game.
Both you and I are not top 10 material because we dont have a 7 disc auto mode (i.e. 2056, 1886, 987, etc.). However, like Boilermaker, if you put the 2 of us together against 1 of the elites with 2 defensive robots, we both know either alliances can still win. It was such a beauty everytime we paired up.
On a side note, we have defensive/offensive center discs for auto mode. We wont ever use it unless the time calls for it.
