I think this is a good update. The GDC saw a potential chokehold and shut it down before week 1. Honestly, I wouldn't want this game to turn into hang the top row faster than the other team, block the other team from hanging tubes the rest of the match, and deploy minibots at the end. That wouldn't be a very fun game to watch (IMHO). That said defense is still allowed (mostly in the mid field) which keeps things interesting but allows the game to remain "flowing". Remember Lunacy with the huge 6 robot pile-up clumps as teams tried to score on each other? I never want to go back to that again. I believe that this is a step away, and in the right direction.

That said, I feel bad for the refs. They will have many tough calls ahead with all the subjective penalties.
