Movements are the same, but this is a grid style team "race" with 11 races. There is a lot of strategy involved since players have to come in and out depending on the movement.

The Rise are now 2-0 with a 18-16 win over San Francisco.

I have watched the match yet, but it appears that Phoenix won by inches in the last race and they were tie 15-15 going into the final race! Can't wait to watch this one tonight!
