Re: Steve Rourke vs. John V-Neun: 3rd Annual Championship Wager

Thats alot... the most ringers we have seen on the rack is 19 (I believe that record from Waterloo is still standing).
During a practice match today on Galileo with 6 working robots on the field, 21 ringers were scored. I believe it was part two of match 34. It's only a practice match, but I imagine if it happened today, it can happen again.

The lowest scoring member of the alliance will score more than 4.5 tubes in total over the two winning matches.
I'm going to go on this side. I doubt you're going to have many pure-defense robots picked. I'm sure that robots with good ramps will be in ample supply at the 3rd pick, so the dealbreaker will probably be their scoring ability, which means that almost all of the 3rd picks will be scoring robots. At some point the 'lead' robots will be disabled, whether it be by chance, good defense, or needing to deploy a ramp, and that'll be the time for the low-scoring robot to put a few up.

Re: Steve Rourke vs. John V-Neun: 3rd Annual Championship Wager

I voted for John because i thought the 4.5 meant the average.. but if thats strung out between 2 matchs then it is a really tough bet, depends on if one is a ramp hybrid or if 1 of them decides to play defense for some odd reason.
