I think that this is a topic worth revisiting after the season has ended. There are a lot of factors that went into each teams decision that are worth considering as more regions move to the District System.

At it certainly wouldn't hurt if Sab-BOT-tage was able to get their 30-pt climber working reliably or if STORM continued to drain their unorthodox full court shots to stretch out the defensive efforts.

Love seeing the mention of both 1640 and 2729 as being a 'step' above the rest of the cycling field. 1640, 30pt climber working or not, is an awesome machine and perhaps one of the most difficult to defend when their swerve drive is taken into account. 2729's machine is a bit more traditional, but assuming that they keep doing the tag off between back/side of the pyramid scoring and shooting
LASER BEAMZ into the 3pt goal, they're going to put on one hell of a show.
