Re: What do you think about <G14> in eliminations?
This is good discussion and everyone should share their opinions, BUT -
FIRST will NEVER change a rule that impacts the game this much, thus late into the competition season. (my opinion)
Thoughts -
As with most years, their are really 2 different strategies for winning between the seeding and the finals matches.
During the finals you cannot chance anything less than a 30 point lead, because if 2 supercells are scored against your alliance at the end of the game, it might swing the score enough to go from almost assured victory to a narrow defeat.
During seeding matches, it doesn't kill you if that happens because its not a win or go home situation, so you don't necessarily need to be overly worried - unless you know that the other teams just cannot score very many points, and even if they do win on a last second supercell luck shot so what, no big deal.
Just my 2 cents worth,
Mike Aubry
