I don't know how I'd hold up for that one day time gap.
GDC has mastered cliffhangers.

I can't see that happening, they have absolutely no reason to.
As for the hint, here's what I've come up with:
I agree with the theory suggesting the first two lines point to Seal. I think maybe we'll need to "seal" the scoring area to get more points (for example, with a trackball, as was suggested previously). The earlier this happens, the more points you get, so you'll have top find the balance between blocking the goal and scoring. The last two lines may suggest this as well. By blocking the goal, it "misses dinner" meaning it doesn't get anymore game pieces, yet it "holds weight" because the alliance still gets points, or rather keeps the points it would've made without "losing dinner".
Reading through what I just wrote, looks like a serious stretch... But heck, it might be right, in which case I'd feel stupid about not posting it.
Anyway, regardless of the hint, I think we'll see a return of a feature that disappeared in recent years: the center of the field being the focus of the game, both strategicly and physically (e.g. 2003's huge ramp, 2007's scoring pegs). I also agree with the common theory: this year will be an arm year. Though, I don't think this game will resemble Triple Play that much, because I don't beleave the GDC will follow the same pattern for 3 years in a row.
