A move like this is a good one and in a game like this one needs to be pointed out to anyone including a ref that is not aware of what is actually going on.
That being said, see you in Lansing.

No offense taken, hopefully we will be able to play together in Lansing. I will say that I am 100% certain that the ball did not bounce out of 4994. I can say that because I was watching the inbound, instead of correcting our driver not to defend 1718 in high gear....thus not popping our main breaker and being dead for the final minute of the match.

Looking forward to Lansing!

I will say that we had been running this same identical play for the previous (8) elimination matches, so it was not the first time the ref crew was seeing this strategy play out.
