What tense, exciting game strategies have you seen so far this year?

At Pittsburgh this past weekend during the qualifiers, our alliance was down. Badly. A row of 7 to our single tube, all on the bottom row, with one of our partners climbing another for a 30 point bonus. We tossed a spoiler out, and managed to place it, but the tube behind it was resting on a keeper on the ground, and the spoiler was resting on the foot and the tube behind it. Our driver tried to run back into the rack to knock it into place, but we ran out of time just as he hit the joystick.

We ended up losing 128 to 22 with a penalty on our side. Had the spoiler been on all the way, it would have been a 22 to 16 victory for us. That match just shows how close this year's matches can be even if the final score doesn't show it.


What has everyone else seen so far that made you hold your breath?
