Re: This year's "game" is a job, not a game

I agree with your warehouse reference. At the beginning of the season I was like "This game is gonna be way worse then last year". But after watching a few regionals, I think the rules change is a great change of pace. I also have interesting thoughts on how they are scoring it this year (from previous WLT to using team averages) << I don't know how I like/dislike this yet.

The thing I dislike the most is how this game only requires the team to basically do 1 task/motion (lifting/moving stacks) vs previous years (like ultimate ascent, where teams could climb the pyramid, shoot frisbees, or push frisbees) where the GDC gave teams more of a challenge and let them chose which one to focus on.

Overall, I think this game is a game of FIRSTS heh and the GDC is experimenting with changing things up.
