Re: The Lessons From Week 0

About defenses: most teams can do most terrain-based defenses, as well as the low bar. The category A's seemed to be more of a challenge, as very few people attempted either the portcullis or the cheval de friese. The drawbridge/sally port I did not see anyone attempt at Suffield, though, to be fair (did 181 do the drawbridge? I'm not sure), I wasn't exactly sitting in the stands and watching the whole time.

Shooting: Ooh, big one. High goals are hard. Really hard. I think we learned that it may be beneficial to shoot low instead of high, simply for the higher success rate (substantially), and less time wasted on aiming/defenders blocking your way. I think low goals are the way to go, especially if you're going for a capture.

Thanks to Aces High for hosting Suffield Shakedown!
