The change to eliminations really made elimination strategy one of my favorite things about this year's game. At Alamo, it was a little boggling before quarterfinals, but once we had a strategy down it worked really efficiently. Having a seperate strategy for each match was interesting as well.

"If they take the two center cans in auto, which totes should we clear first so that our alliance member can get the remaining cans on the step?"

Before actually working with our alliance members, I thought we'd be lucky to make it out of quarters, but by playing on each others strengths really well, we gave one hell of a fight. Before our last semifinal, the difference between us and the #2 seed was .33 of a point.

I think this year's game is great.
