Simpler yet is the +2/-2 scoring system, or -4 scoring system. 30-minute change to the FMS code completely removes the point of TNA with no colored noodles to keep track of or anything.
Also, I know CD is a highly focused and motivated community and as such, memes and strategies developed here won't necessarily be as popular in the larger FRC community, but I think think Frank's wrong about how prevalent TNA would be at a regional. As soon as a few veteran teams started explaining TNA to other teams, and teams started seeing 40 point jumps in scores, you'd pretty quickly reach a majority of matches with TNA happening. And that's leaving out the semi-final playoff shennanigans possible with TNA.
