469 in 2010 was NOT a chokehold strategy.


Frankly, I'm getting tired of people calling it a chokehold. A chokehold strategy is not "almost impossible to outscore," it is literally impossible to outscore. When executed properly, a chokehold strategy CANNOT be beaten. A chokehold strategy is one in which is mathematically impossible to be beaten. Being able to successfully control all three goals in 2002 was a chokehold strategy, because regardless of the opponents scoring, it was impossible to be beaten. Redirecting balls in 2010 was NOT a chokehold strategy, because the opponent could simply oustcore you. A chokehold strategy cannot exist in any game involving "recycled" game pieces (2006, 2010, 2012), since the theoretical scoring limit is infinite.
