Re: When are you placing your spoilers? (Poll)

Remember, if your ringer is over a spoiler not only can the spoiler not be removed, the ringer on top counts for points. Spoilers are your friend if you're losing but your enemy if you're winning.
At best you could garuntee yourself 2 ringers, it seems you would be better off leaving your spoilers off the field and instead scoring more ringers.

My opinion is that it doesn't makes sense to use them any time other than the end, how can you strategically break up the other alliances rows if they haven't had time to score them?
