Maybe we'll be able to convince the head refs in Dallas and San Antonio that any double defense on 148 constitutes interrupting the flow of the match?
You'd have a case on triple defense on 148 or some of the other perennial powerhouses, John. Double defense? Maybe, but I'd assume that you guys are to busy scoring through it to pay any attention--and anybody playing any less than double defense is getting beaten handily anyway.

That's kind of my fear, too--if I'm parking a robot between my towers and playing defense on any robot trying to go through that gap, am I going to be called for blocking the flow of the game? I hope not! But I would not be surprised if any team doing that was be called.
