Re: IRI (CONTEMPLATED) Rule Changes

What we need is more reason to score more tubes, and a way to reduce the diminishing returns effect of the original scoring system.
We will have many matches with 3 awesome scorers and we have already seen that the motivation to score more or less stops at 4 logos.
We want to see as much action on the field as possible:
Solution:
Allow ALL tubes on the rack to score, including double tubes deep.
Allow a double stacked logos to count.
To enable this, you need to provide the HPs with 4 logos worth of tubes each.

If you provide more opportunity on the rack, the Minibot race will diminish in importance so you will not need to change it.

Oh yeah: Get rid of the feature that ends the game when the 4 minbot hits.....this is stupid and prevents exciting attempt for last second logos.
