In my 18 years with a FIRST Team I always come away the first day with a thought...."What is the Smoke and Mirrors", "What is the real intent of the game" and most of all "First Game creators are really smart..... can the game be as it seems".

After a few days, weeks and even into the season the "Real" game emerges, teams re-design and re-adjust to the reality of how the game actually plays.

Yes, some games are better than others - this is the perception of each and every one of us and what we really expect to happen.

Look deep and hard at this game....was the Woodie comments "Smoke and Mirrors?

Great thread guys!
