unique strategies that worked....... or didn't

[Jared Russell]

We also discussed (and had plans to utilize if necessary) a no-movement strategy as well. Both 469 and 2848 had full court HP assist shots; 74, 254, and 2848 both had right-back-to-HP cheeky passes (and 2848 had a giant brake pad making them virtually unmoveable); and 469 and 254 could both load and finish from right in front of the low goal. There were a variety of ways we could have made it work.

It would have been a very risky strategy, though. You are basically giving up on playing defense and betting the other alliance that you can out-execute them. As it turned out, we played a murderer's row of tough alliances in Curie and on Einstein and never had a chance to try it (or 469 catching, for that matter).
