When used correctly, such strategies can really work.

Now on topic, is he loading two tetras at once? If so, is that legal? I can't remember from the rules.
Just one at a time is legal. It was cool the way Drew could push the next one up inside!

Our loader, Paul, sometimes had to use a tetra to manipulate the already-loaded tetras to get things in the right place.

And we could do up to 7 at a time, but that was the optimal number (in terms of time taken to load versus time on the field)
