FIRST should strive to achieve better than that, irrespective of whether or not people think they're doing a good job.

I actually just earlier today filed a survey in which I rated the game "Good" simply because I like the concept and focus on teamwork. However, the rest of my survey was dedicated to discussing all of the issues, which I happen to see as less inherent to the game design than some, such as refereeing inconsistency, as well as some particularly contentious issues at our own event.

So it'd be nice if FIRST gave a little broader sample of data to inform us of the feedback, rather than show a little preview to calm things down.
