Most of the videos that teams have posted have shots hitting the wall with serious force at an angle of at 45 degrees or less from the bottom of the frisbee to the wall if they are shooting from the area around/in front of the pyramid. Will that change how they land? Will a long and herefor more flat shot illustrate what your are hypothesizing better?

This just makes me more excited for week 1 and seeing how the game developes with time. The super complicated stratagem I posted earlier was more of a championships level of depth in an alliance. I think you will see 2 of those three positions filled on most alliances that win early regionals. Or not.
