Re: What do you think of the game?

Third-ed.

It is a very difficult game to play because the three drive teams have to be so synchronous with each other. Ego and over-confidence are killers, as is distraction.

With our heavy reliance on our alliance partners to get assist points (and thus wins) we were left twisting in the wind when they were unable (or unwilling, believe it or not) to assist in scoring, which lead to a few disappointing losses. This made us very sensitive to drive team compatibility much more than in prior years when making our pick list.

To think that if we had won one more match (and at least one was decided by foul points!) we could have been 2nd seed...

We also had to have several auto scores corrected for a wide variety of reasons. The refs are really over-loaded.
