It's like getting the 30pt penalty in 2005, one you get it the games over. I think that defence or scoring ringers wont really matter untill the championship of the championships down in Atlanta. Down in Atlanta, every alliance in the elims will have two awesome scorers and one ramp bot that can hold two. that ramp bot will not hold a ringer but play defence and shut down the other two awesome scorers. Then at the end of the match, the teams will go up onto the ramps. That will be the stradegy. Then maybe it will come down to the scorers, but as of right now, ramp bots rule all.  |
Just remember, it takes 3 to tango to get 2 @ 12. Alliance partners must be ready to ditch the rack area and ramp with a bit of time to spare. No need to cut it so close. If the alliance did its job around the rack, it successfully hung a few strategic ringers to prevent a 5-row or more, maybe even built up a 3-row for the alliance, so there's no need to score a few relatively worthless ringers when there's 60 points to be had on the ramp. There's gold in them thar hills!
This emphasizes the need for CONSTANT COMMUNICATION between alliance teams during a match! You must not only learn to talk, but to LISTEN to what others are saying as the match is progressing.
