So I think a good approach to the game would be to answer the following question:

How do we outscore the opposing alliance by 25 points?
Capturing the tower is the most obvious, rewarding exactly 25 points (plus however many challenges/scales you have). However, of course this can be difficult in qualifications and challenging during eliminations. Breaching the defenses awards 20, which can put you close, however it is much more (25 times) more common than capturing the tower. Any team in eliminations most likely must breach the defenses to have a fighting chance unless they manage to capture the tower. Preforming both capturing the tower and breaching the defenses gives teams a great opportunity to pull ahead by twenty-five points and will form the basics of each match.

Personally, I'm very excited to see the three Indiana teams coming up this weekend and hopefully,
