I agree - I find it incredibly disappointing and borderline unbelievable that the GDC did not anticipate what was going to happen during the last 30 seconds of the game. What other possible outcome could there be, other than all of the remaining frisbees being thrown as quickly as possible in the vague direction of a goal or robot? And why could they not simply expand the nets, for example, rather than changing a clearly stated rule on the last day of build?
