If they only score one of the two tetras, fine, but that is not what they did in this case if the reports are to be believed. They scored BOTH tetras.

If they score both tetras and it make scoring more tetras on top of that goal virtually impossible, then why is it not an advantage to score this way on as many goals as you can? If it is one, fine. If it is 3 better. If it is 5 I can hardly see a way that you can loose.

Let me list just a few the teams I that I have seen first hand that I think could do this WITH THE MACHINE THEY HAVE NOW using a simple double load from there player station (load, back out, re-load in this goofy manner, then go score pretty much as they score now.).

33
47
67
85
201
217
245
302
322
573
910
1213
1596

This is just a list off the top of my head of teams I have seen first hand that I think have grippers that could do it right out of the box in Atlanta.

I am sure that there are more that I have seen but can recall right now and even more still that I have not seen from other regionals and even more STILL that could do it with simple modifications to their loaders.

I am not trying to be an alarmist, but if it is legal and it works as advertized, why wouldn't a LOT of teams do it?
