Go to Post My nephew...loves FIRST. He wants to be an X-Cat but since he lives in Atlanta and that's a heck of a long commute for meetings I told him he probably should strive to be the next best thing: a CircuitRunner. - Koko Ed [more]

1. If you're close enough to it, than yah, choose your's over an alliance partner (yes this may seem greedy but you have to get ahead somehow, or mabey its just i'm to used to the old competitions however it would be fine just to get any old ball, if you're low on time.

2. I'd say before, because shaking around the goal I think those big balls can take some punishment before they loose their place.

3. Probably not:
1.5 x for time (almost given) }4 black/bb
2 x for 1 goal }

1.5 x for time }2 black/bb
4 x for 2 goals }

so if you can get on the ramp and balance with a couple seconds left or get a big ball, its safer to try and get the multiplyers.
