I was with you Madison until this sentence. The GDC has made it apparent in both the manual and external public literature (websites, promos, the animation, etc) that the point of this game is to shoot hoops and balance on top of the bridge. The GDC appears to simply have brought their definitions back in line with those two key points. The GDC still doesn't tell us how to balance on the bridge with this update except by some thin ipso facto arguments made by disappointed teams.

Though I do agree that the criteria this year aren't nearly as explicitly defined as they were in previous years.
