I believe that life without a bag would be better, but I'm prepared to...

Re: Please save our eardrums by lowering volume on sound effects at Champs

"So don't complain" is the wrong approach, this is a recurring problem.

"So ask for speakers facing the driver station in the team survey" would be an actionable item that would resolve the issue.

Re: The REAL chokehold of 2016

Re: Palmetto Regional Week 0.5

20-50 cents per viewer hour is a likely reason.

Re: The Noodle Agreement

There is a 2 match round robin for the quarter finals with the highest average (total score) advancing. Hypothetically if alliances 7 and 8 don't participate then alliance 1 is at a big disadvantage.

Re: The Noodle Agreement

Do you mean "The problem is that this game has coopertition scoring"?

If it doesn't require actions by both alliances to "earn" the points, then it wouldn't be cooperation.
