Go to Post GP is a much longer-term investment, yet offers surprisingly high returns. Just like 401(k) plans, the important thing is to keep making contributions even when it seems there's no reward for it. - ayeckley [more]

Re: What did it take to win a Week 1 Rebound Rumble match?

From my experience at Hatboro-Horsham (which, granted, now seems to be one of the best events of week 1), it was rare that teams weren't attempting to get on a bridge during a match. Balls under bridges caused many failures, especially if teams didn't leave time to cross the bump or couldn't cross the bump. Many other teams, including 1712, didn't have functioning bridge manipulators and had to follow up other teams.

Because of this, 1712 only once tried to balance on our own alliances' bridge during qualifications (we tipped with 1 second remaining), but had seven attempts at balancing on the co-opertition bridge (three successful, two where the other team never went for the bridge, and twice where we "failed"/ran out of time). Without the ability to manipulate the bridge ourselves, we figured the best way to ensure QPs was the co-op bridge with a balancing machine from the other alliance. The 4 coop points we had at the end of Friday were a big portion of why we were seeded 5th at the time. Some bad luck on Saturday and other teams starting to use the co-op bridge more led to us falling to 13th, but the concept was proven.

Our bridge manipulator should be functioning and durable by Lenape, so we'll see if our strategy changes.
