Re: Analysis of my experience in week 1 (and a huge thank-you to 1676 and 5624)
Very little defense played in elims at the Waterbury District Event, and none in quals. The teams that did attempt to play defense in elims were not terribly successful, resulting in lots of fouls, and most gave it up after one attempt. Lesson learned: don't attempt to play defense if you're not skilled at it. There's really not a ton of room between the outerworks and the castle, and if you're not careful it's easy to foul your opponents.
