One of the most exciting finishes I have seen this season was a qualification match at Davis featured one alliance down by 12 going for a double balance. They were struggling to get the double balance and it didn't look like they were going to make it (and the third team was cooping, so they couldn't score). Then a human player made a full court 3 point shot. A coach realized they were only down by 9, had one team get of the bridge, and the single balance went up with a few seconds left, and they won by 1. (I don't remember the teams.)

I really hate to see when it becomes impossible for good heads up, strategic play like this to be used. I feel like this sort of change makes situational play much more difficult, and removes strategy from the game.



Edit: and I have never seen this no-scoreboard thing implemented ever at any event I can remember, on webcast or in person.
