While I was actually disappointed with the lack of penalties (you heard it here), the fact that the game was more relaxed made the scores feel earned and the close matches were actually due to real close gameplay, not a free 50 points tying the game at the last second
I've gotta say, the eliminations at Greater DC were probably the most intense thing I've ever experienced at a regional FRC event. The standard of play was absolutely fantastic, and the game allows for so much more strategic depth than previous FRC games.
