Re: Team UPDATE - 2014-03-25

Not to be "that guy," but wasn't this being discussed elsewhere? Is this now becoming a game of "where can we discuss what should have been called?"

I went to Waterloo, there were some really high-quality matches among some of the best teams in FIRST. It is rather unfortunate that the referee calls are what people are remembering in what was an otherwise excellent showdown. Both alliances were well thought out, and I hate to have seen it work out the way it did because of a set of poorly worded rules that are constantly changing.

Which brings me to my main point: Yes. There are a large number of people who don't like the rules and people who are upset about how poor calls have affected their performance. I have no right to tell you that you cannot be upset because I know I would be too. Week after week, we have complained about the rules and asked for updates only to get angrier about whatever rule changes were released. This week, it seems as if the game is staying the same. At what point would you rather have a consistent set of mediocre rules rather than a set of rules that is difficult to stay up to date with and drastically changes the game each time. It's Week 5 already. The GDC changes the game after people respond, and then people get angry at the changes (Again, not saying they were good changes or that the rules are perfect). In this case, the GDC has done nothing and people are angry.


Otherwise, the update is pretty exciting.
