Re: 3 Year FRC Cycle? - The CON's

3 years of:

Loading Zone violations (2005)
Line-crossing penalties (<G22>, 2008)
Lane violations (2011)
Card-happy rules (it's not even really the ref's fault--2011)
Fluky automatic scoring (2006, 2011)

Anybody want that?

The best way to handle a 3-year game is to change point values (say, lower minibot points/raise tube points) and tweak penalties between the years, and maybe make a tweak to the game itself (Lunacy on carpet, anyone?). Oh, and improve stuff like I mentioned earlier.
