Colleen,

We will definitely be planning to balance two goals each match.

This past weekend, we played 16 total matches (13 in qualifications and 3 in the semi-finals).

During the qualification matches, we balalanced two goals 7 times. Once, 71 balanced for the alliance, 4 times the bridge came off it's pivot, and once there was a pile-up on the bridge.

In the finals, we balanced all 3 matches.

During all of our matches, the alliance we were in (quals. or finals), we were either going for a 500 or 600 point match... but we did not make it over 400, while still averaging 200.

So, essentially, we will still be balancing 2 goals, and we'll still be going for 500 and 600 points during the Q matches at Nationals. Also, we have a risky plan that could get 700, if needed. It's just very difficult to pull off.

We have no plans of balancing one goal. I think that in both regionals that we have attended, we did it only once.

Andy B.
