The math of the cans...

I'm pointing out the 100% undeniable fact that the cans are not a chokehold strategy in themselves. You still have to score points to establish chokehold. That's a fundamental difference from 2002, where controlling the goals meant you won the game, regardless of how many balls were scored. While the odds are stacked dramatically against the team that loses the can race, this game is not over after the can race.

The Einstein finals in 2010 are an example of a similar scenario. The odds were stacked against any team failing to stop 469 from establishing position, but the game wasn't automatically lost, either. 469's alliance still had to execute for the remainder of the match. Same holds true in Recycle Rush.

So we're considering the entire alliance then, my bad. I thought you were referring to the one can grabber.
That makes sense. You do still have to score the cans across your alliance. However, you only need good stackers to win. Sure, they're bound to be less common than bad stackers, but I feel like due to the nature of the game finding good stackers won't be that hard.
