I for one saw no problem with sitting out in the finals. We did at NJ because the higher seed could do our job better. So what? we still seeded which is hard on its own. Just making the choice to sit out was part of the strategy, and it worked, we took 1st. Mayhems rule change was interesting, but i don't think it was all that earth shattering. How ever, I was a little disapointed that we had so much advanced notice of our alliences, I think it took a little out of the planning stage for us. It was easier, but still...
I think the golf/foot ball anlogy is a good one. But I still think that both games take as much thinking and stratigizing as any other, and they are both fun to watch (im talking about the FIRST games, not golf). I will argue against the idea that all the plays were the same. They all varied in subtle ways, if they didn't we'd have all gotten 500+ matches everytime. Clearly, we didin't, so some teams had the right idea and some didn't. So which is harder? We don't really know yet. Which is more fun? Thats subjective.
So pretty much, this is a old discussion and maybe we should just wait till after Battle Cry before saying which is really the best. Till then, its just speculation.
