Re: [FAF] - June 28, 2013 - Game Design Committee

I think it's interesting to see the different types of language people use to describe FRC games, events, etc.

Here, the original question uses the phrase "main event" to describe a single portion of the game. I wonder what series of events led him to believe that the frisbees were the 'main event'. Further, I wonder why he didn't realize that, for most teams at most events, the most straightforward path to victory was to excel in that 'main event'.

I think this points out that, despite the inference made in the question, the problem isn't with the game design, necessarily, but with how it is communicated to teams.
