Re: Is anyone surprised by the scoring in week #1?

The chutes right now are occasionally not even maintaining normal operation, and some teams don't understand what should and shouldn't be done, like

Breaking apart the landfill into the gap to prevent co-op is BAD if you can't get the broken up totes converted to the bumps.

Throwing noodles before the co-op conversion is stupid. Throwing noodles before the 60 second mark is almost as stupid.

These two things, along with the general team-specific issues can create a cascading effect of issues that will drive scores down.

Other issues:

Teams may not realize how silly they look when they create a 5 tote stack with no can.

Teams are committing really silly fouls. Throwing noodles after the 20 second mark is stupid, but there is another cascade effect of slightly vague rules and Q&As and blue boxes has caused a share of G6s.

Alliance partners are great at de-scoring totes another partner made.
