Tie Breakers

[AdamT]

In reviewing the events of VCU I thought about a lot....one thing cought my attention, and that was ties.

Surprisingly, one of my teams was involved in 3 or 4 matches out of 8 that resulted in ties. Unfortunately, we lost 2 of them. Every single tie was broken by how many goals were in scoring position.

Not only this, but of course there were a high number of games won by one or two points.

This made me realize how under-rated balls really are in this game. Everyone seems to post that balls have become obsolete in the game, but for our team, having one more ball in our goal/s would have won the match, and would have boosted up that team probably into the top 10, if not the top 8.

I'm not sayin that just goal grabbers are bad, this team was nothing but a goal grabber, but that teams might want to really take into consideration really what they are going to do with those balls in the player station during the match. This may be WHEN they want to start throwing, this may be WHO is going to throw this. I can't count the number of times that I watched one team have a great human player who was making great shots, and the other team seemed to be wasting balls.

I dunno, just what I was thinking....
