I was talking to some people about possibly changing some rules around to increase rack use/brutal defense. I have some ideas....

-Instead of two spoilers, have one spoiler and one "stealer". A stealer is a black tube with red/blue tape on it in an X pattern, this tube placed as a singleton will count as nothing and act as a spoiler, but if placed with other tubes of the same color, will act as another ringer. Stealers can be de-scored.

-Remove some tubes from the field and placing them behind the alliance station walls. Instead of 9 on the floor, only 7 will be placed, with the additional two placed behind the walls.

-Additional rules to prevent agressive defense, which need to be hammered out.

-No early deployment of ramps.

Again, I'm not speaking for MM, I just thing these are some ideas they might want to impliment...
