Very true, however how many regional events had a full field for tethered practice in 2013? If 2013 practice field rules were the same as previous years, how many teams would be on the field at once? I don't know about you but at every regional I have been to in 10 years the practice field has been small and not a full field so FIRST wouldn't have seen this until they started planning the 2013 practice field rules.
The safety side does make sense when you have teams like 67, 1519, 987, 610, and other FCS cranking away full court shots and others want to test too. I personally would not want to be on the field testing while those teams are.
If safety was their reasoning it makes sense. I agree it would be nice to know that reasoning.
