Re: 2014 IRI Rule Changes

The rule changes are intended to keep the flow of the game going, reduce referee workload, and allow for some slightly different strategies. We don't believe the changes give any one style / capability a significant advantage or disadvantage.

Yes, the reference to Possession means Assists.

Yes, 4 game pieces available in autonomous for the entire competition.

We chose to keep the pedestal in the loop because changing that created more potential issues, like "when is a ball scored", "What if it goes in and rolls back out, but the team has put another ball in play", ... The potential for more issues outweighted the benefit of changing this one.

I think you can tell from the minimal changes that we like the game pretty much as is. As someone stated above, we have the advantage of seeing hundreds of matches and being able to use that knowledge to make just some minor adjustments.
