The ONLY spoiler placed during qualifications at GLR was scored against our alliance (322, 815, 1114) in the 4:22 PM match (they don't have numbers on the FIRST website). We still won 75-8 though. Which brings up another point about spoilers. You have to use major strategy in order to use a spoiler appropriately. We didn't score any more ringers after the spoiler was placed and they only had one row of three. Wouldn't it have been better for their ranking points to score another ringer to increase their row rather than trying to use a spoiler on ours?
