"Playing Cheap"

Every record-setting match had at least one hanger (correct me if I'm mistaken).

i believe that no alliance scored 180 at the PNW regional, but two alliances scored 170. I forgot one, but the other alliance was 492 and 1031.

My team (team 492) did not try to hang at all and did amazingly well. We placed 1st in the seeding round and the aliance lead by us took the gold. As you may have guesed we picked 2 hangers as our aliance partners so as to distribute the + qualities throught our alliance. Hanging was not needed to be good, and many of the teams tryed just to hand and failed. We did everything BUT hang, so its not really cheap if you can do it but still not even win...
