Re: Abilities of the top teams at a regional?

I count four times in a cycle when a ball is loose, starting with the inbound from the human player, and ending with a score shot. Even having a quick, close pass will only happen when there is little to no defense in a game with no protected zones. This doesn't count possible missed passes, missed shots, balls jostled free, and truss shots that aren't immediately caught or picked up.

I think the top teams will be the ones the ones that plan for loose balls and can quickly react with the fastest and most secure pickup.
