Re: The 469 auto

BJenks, try to get up to Troy Saturday and get a good look at some teams that 548 hasn't seen this year, as well as that 46something team. I'll be reffing as well as Mr. Bennett and Robert VanHam.

And it is my bet that there will be enough 469 and 51 copycats at States that we will have most alliances consisting of a ball handler (67, 33, 27, 910, 217 and the list is long), a diverter (469, 51 and the copy cats) and a diverter defense (548 and others that commit to that action). I can't imagine that any alliance that has to play against 469 will not choose a diverter defender as their first choice. The alternative is to let 469 lock in place and the game is over.

I also do not think that is the only time we will see a 469. I think Nationals will be the same as our States, maybe even more diverter heavy. I just can't imagine a picking alliance not wanting a diverter defender.
