Increasing tower strength for Championships.

[Michael Hill]

FIRST has, for a few years now, left some element of the game open to an increase of difficulty for championships. This year, it's tower strength. Do you think it will increase, and if so, to what level?

I was honestly surprised at how damaged we were able to get the tower with a good alliance in week 2. We were able to get it to a strength of -4 in one match. Now, for week 2, it was absolutely an exception rather than the rule. It seemed to almost never occur during qualifications (happened only a couple times in Pittsburgh), but in elims/playoffs, it's almost too easy with a well formed alliance. So again, given what we know now about how the game is being played, do you think the tower strength will increase for championships?

My guess is it gets increased to at least a strength of 10.
