[Radical Pi]

At philly, both alliances in finals didn't have hangers either. However, all of the hanging alliances lost in semis by very slim margins in matches that could have gone either way (we got knocked out by 1 penalty point).

For us, during qualifiers we usually won by big margins (not the best thing for QPs) and hanging turned mainly into a "seal the win" thing and also showing off to the scouters. For elims, our midfield parter, 1640, could do some decent scoring from midfield, and could jump the bump to offense, we would swap zones to go for the hang. An important factor though was 87 being able to hold down the opponent's goals and keep the score opponent score from jumping while we had no active midfield bot.
