Re: Disappointing Game

While I do agree with you that the game has a few frustrating glitches, I like aerial assist. I do admit, being a scout at a district event in quals got boring after a while, but as soon as the good teams hit the field, the gym was lit up with excitement. And once elims hit, forget about it. Most exciting elims i will probably ever see. Not once was there a blowout. Even alliances 8 and 7 gave 1 and 2 some huge problems(trust me, my team was on alliance 2). Our quarterfinal match was crazy. We had won the first game, they the second(because we lost comm). The third match they won, but because a pedestal glitch hurt our alliance greatly, there was a replay. We then tied the replay, and we won because tiebreaker rules said that the team with the most assist points would win. At that point, I was informed by the sound guy at the place that the gym hit 105 decibels. Absolutely wild. Unfortunately, this is where the fouls come in. The semis match that we were in, we lost the first one for comm issues, won the second because they got a technical(we would have won anyway). Then we lost the third because we got a technical AND a regular. I don't know if many other teams are having trouble, but G12 was a killer at our event. Everyone is talking about G40, but in my opinion G12 is worse. Seriously though, mount olive district event was a ton of fun. Big thanks to our alliance partners, 1923 and 219! You guys were great and I hope we can play together again at MAR champs. And congrats to teams 75, 56, and 2577 for winning the event. We had one crazy semis match! So in conclusion, I have to say I disagree about the disappointing game. To me, the defense is exciting, and the assists just add a whole new layer of strategy to the game. If you couldn't tell from my horribly long explanation, I love aerial assist, as can't wait until our next event, Chestnut hill.
