Re: Is defense Key?

I would think you would need to balance both offense with defense if you truly want a solid alliance. One example I can give is just our finals match against our sister team 1126/229/1367 alliance at the FingerLakes. They decided to go all out offense so we, as the # 2 seeded alliance went with and all out defensive strategy with our partners 250/211. We were considered the underdogs all the way through but we were able to hold there scoring spree down compared to the rest of the teams there. So in that respect I definitely say having a strong defensive partner is a key factor and I'm sure most teams will agree to that.

As for the Championships at this point Thomas H is correct that the larger divisions and varied experience levels of alliance partners can make or break a historically strong team. Thats' why overall points and records will not tell you the whole story. Without good scouting, you may easily discount a solid performing team as an option in a large competition like this with limited matches.
