As far as other regionals, its a rare thing to see mainly because of the foul potential of hitting them in their key or 'area where they throw balls into' (My technical word for it).

2056 made a habit of "stealing" balls from the opposite side of the court at GTR-East as well.

The 1st alliance lost because we didn't execute. We were aware that 1370 was going to come over and were prepared for it. We simply didn't execute our strategy. The #8 alliance simply outplayed us in those two matches.
