what's the issue here?
I don't get this debate at all.
2 points:
1. FIRST clearly listened to team input more than ever this year, and much of that input from teams was to keep the game scoring the same in the qualifying and the eliminations? They did that - so a petition by teams to change it would be a little hypocritical at this point. Maybe this will fall into the category of "be careful what you wish for" - but we won't know until March.
2. Both alliances have the same scoring issues before them - luck is not an issue here any more than it is any year.
If you win 2 matches, you win - that simple. If you win one and lose one, then whoever managed the points better wins. If an alliance is clearly superior to their opponent, they'll win both matches. If not, they may split 1-1, in which case the points determine the winner - both alliances know this going into the round, so if someone wins on points than they played the two matches better than the other alliance....seems that simple to me.
Like Dean & Woodie said - this is a game: unfair is kids without opportunity, education, food, water, peace, and so on. If both alliances are playing with the same rules and both know the scoring and how a winner is determined - that is fair.
Heck - we have a president who didn't even get more votes than the other guy - so if our country can't even get "scoring" down, maybe we should hold off on a petition to change something which hasn't even been proved flawed yet?
Should be a fun year - can't wait for March!
