Endgame creates a potential 24 point difference in your score if done well enough. The game does not have to be a tie, or even close to one for the endgame to be important. The idea with endgame is that you place your balls close enough to the end that another team does not have time to come back around and knock them off. I believe the ideal alliance will be 2 shooters and one arm/lift.
