Mostly from the floor, but a few teams (1218 in NJ and 179 in FL jump to mind) reliably scored 4+ tubes per match using nothing but human loading.

I have seen plenty of (attempts at) defense, but I have not yet seen a strong scorer get truly shut down. The human loaders tend to be fast and agile enough to squeeze by defense into the zone, while the floor loaders with good human players seldom need to leave the zone to find a tube.

Thanks for the information. The better teams I saw at Lake Superior were all floor loading. A couple were able to get two logos themselves when they had tubes available (even as far as their towers) and had minimal defense.
