He's going to have to pay to heat his house, though.

I'm not so sure Dave sleeps. It's probably more like 'guru meditation'. :D

You mean like Lunacy? I think people underestimate how much of a step in the right direction the game was; all scoring was at the end of the game, basically no penalties... I wouldn't be surprised if FRC games keep moving in that direction. Such as this next one!

Kickoff looking different = field looking different. :D

A majority of FIRST games in the last 10 years have been scored at the end only.

Haven't you figured out that FRC adapts soccer rules? Red/yellow cards, impeding, even soccer ref shirts. Soccer has no instant replay / video review.

I can say with some level of confidence that it likely relates to the way segments of the broadcast happen. They have repeatedly run upwards of 30 minutes over the schedule, causing difficulty for remote kickoff locations. For example, in seattle the kits arrive on a truck for teams when the broadcast ends, and in 2009 it ran over and the truck had to leave the kits outside because the broadcast was still going.
Anyways, i have a feeling that more portions will be pre-recorded.

Dave sleeps in December, his house is all nice and toasty from all the computers rendering the kickoff animation.

Yeah, I bet Ireland wishes it did after what happened yesterday!

I'm not trying to blast refs or say anything negative about how things are run. I'm impressed with all of the planning that goes into an event. I was just making a reference to the NFL.:D
