I agree that this needs to be emphasized more, but I like the idea.

It encourages the idea of winning, but winning with as close a score as possible through the whole competition. It makes for a more intense need for strategizing and less of a "we can hold everyone else at a stand still" attitude.

I think this idea may have been the result of observing robots last year that would absolutely command the field by pushing all three goals. I had no problem with that, but it wasn't as exciting.

By FIRST's methods, the intent now is to provide the most exciting and intense game (for everyone even not on teams) while making it easy to learn. I think eliminating the best out of three made it less viewer friendly, but made it more exciting to watch.
