I agree with Have and Have Nots, but high-speed ramming was not the only solution. For example, at the Silicon Valley Regional last year, a swerve team from Hawaii (368 IIRC) effectively locked down 254 for a good portion of times during elims just by blocking.
This was not a game built for rookies, to be sure. Stacking is a major part of the game, and not every team can build a lift so easily.
