No. 45 would cap their goal earlier allowing them to go over and uncap 60's goal. 120 points for the 60 alliance. At this point 494 would perhaps get away and attempt to uncap 45's goal. If they succeed, 45's score drops to 85 points. But 33 should be able to prevent the uncapping. If 33 hangs while 494 is decapping, then their (33+45's) score jumps up to 135. If 494 decides not to uncap 45's goal and instead goes for the hang, then their alliance's score would jump to back to 170. The end result: a tie. Eek. Its getting hairy now. But looking back at this possible outcome, a 33 + 45 alliance has more room to beat a 60 + 494 alliance.
The wild card maneuver...

Team 60, with its sheer capping speed, caps the opponents goal at the very begining of the match, rendering allllll those little balls that 33 and 45 can get, useless until they can manage to pull the ball out of the stationary goal....not an easy feat may I add.
