George and Johnny both caught the ball at 1st, tagged the man at 1st, then out raced the guy from 2nd to second.

They could have assured themselves the out by tossing the ball to the second basemen, but they held on for the chance at greater glory. This is the opposite of the time multiplier in 2001. Also in 2001 was the 4v0 alliance time.

I think there will be a multiplier back, but it will have to do with number to alliance partners participating. There are always a few different ways to go about the game. Last year it was hang or get balls. Very few could do both. I'm thinking of this as another way to try and level the playing field so that powerhouse teams can't carry the whole alliance and that specialty bots will be all important this year.

-Flat field.
-Cooperation required for maxing out points.
