Or, they choose not to make a video or post pictures at all. Some teams are like that--secrecy until the end, unless all chance of secrecy is gone. So you don't know what is coming at you until it arrives.

I think this whole discussion is moot, as we'll find out the Week 1 standards starting Thursday, Week 2 standards the next Thursday, Week 3 standards... you get the picture. Strategies change week to week or even day to day/match to match.

The only prediction I'm going to make is that both shooters and arms will be valuable, and both will be in the finals at virtually every event.
