If you want see to FRC with Sack Attack like de-scoring, you need to take a look back the 2000 season.

This is the match that was shown in the game hint video, and is arguably one of the most historic matches in FRC history. Team 47 had been dominant that regional season, and came into Champs as the overwhelming favourites, just as they had in 1998. Unfortunately for them, things didn't work out and they ran into an amazing alliance of 126 and 131. 47 ended up snapping a weld in this match which derailed their dream season, as there was no way they were going to beat the 126-131 combo at less than full strength. The crowd was entirely stunned when they realized what had happened. Definitely one of the most memorable matches I've ever witnessed.
