Yes, at buckeye teams 537, 494, and 70 tried the so called "drown 'em in offense" strategy. It was working really well...until we ran out of tubes. We won the quarters with rows of 7 each time, however in semis the opposing alliance (thunderhawks and sparx) got smart, while they only scored 5-6 tubes...they put them in very strategic places. Basically, we couldnt get a row over 6 tubes. So then they ramped up and us...we had no ramps, so we were screwed. I think the dominant alliance will need to have 1 hybrid/total defensive with ramps as we did in milwaukee to win. With good defense there is no need for extreme offense.
