The rich will get richer in this game.
I agree and will add that this game sort of levels the "skill" you need to compete and a high level. Its a very "blue collar" type game. So teams that take a mentality of building a workman like robot will do well especially if versatile enough to do any task.

This does not require an advanced mechanism. I think you will be surprised that some "dark horse" teams make it to Einstein along with the Powerhouses. Because they have shown to be valuable in ever changing game conditions this year...sort of like a Wes Welker or Danny Woodhead like robot.

This year is so unique that I think some Powerhouse teams who have not adapted to this mentality and use previous winning precision formulas will fail. There are many teams that if things aren't PERFECT they will be useless.

We plan to compete and I for one LOVE this bringing everyone to a certain level this year. So many variables its going to be a constantly changing leader board.

As for match strategy it will change with the other two you have...I find it fascinating.
