The GDC developed a game with a slightly similar flow to soccer, hockey, and basketball. Defense is extremely important in all of these sports.

However, one on one robot ramming is something that a team should be prepared for in a game like this, and if the team didn't build a robust enough robot for it. They did a "bad" job.

If you really wanted to give scoring teams a break then I would propose the fouling of double teaming - or double ramming. Not fouling all ramming completely. I'm glad I don't have to have my team play again till champs. By then this whole thing better be sorted.
