After seeing this past weekend I think 20 high goals at MSC will happen. Also, many of the good shooters will get better and the addition of hanging by these teams will also raise the scores.
I think this is a defect in the field design, that should be corrected. Like the correction made in 2014 when high goals were bouncing back out during Week 1 events.

I think we will see several alliances working this game plan at MSC.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
