That could work but arn't you only allow to move the spoilers to another rack not put it away somewhere?

<G18> Removing SPOILERS - SPOILERS that are HANGING may be removed from the RACK by either ALLIANCE. Any RINGERS and SPIDER LEGS “unspoiled” by the removal of the SPOILER will then be evaluated as if they had never been “spoiled” when the final match score is determined. SPOILERS removed from the RACK are fully in play, and may be placed in any other legal position on the RACK.

The rule states that they can be placed in another position on the rack, not that they have to be.

Oh ok. Can they purposely be thrown out of the ring?

They can, but they will be placed back on the field as soon as it is determined safe, in the appx. spot from which they were thrown out. It would give you a few seconds advantage, but wouldn't you rather keep them and use them to your advantage?

While team A takes the time to place a Spoiler on an empty leg and a Ringer over it, the team B can score two Ringers in the same amount of time on separate legs. In the first scenario, team A has a total of two points, team B has four. Even though either one of Team B's Ringers can be spoiled, team A would then have to take the time go spoil it.

I suggest strategic placing of ringers that does not allow rows larger than 3 or 4. Even if this means scoring in diagonals, it will take Spoiler strategies out of the equation.
