I liked the general concept of the game.
I liked the freedom with the robots. Just to feel old, the LAST time unlimited expansion was legal was back when I was a sophomore in high school... Ten seasons ago.

Unexpected bonus from the ranking system: You know that you know that you know exactly where you finished. Either you're X seed, or your alliance finished in Y place. Can't just call yourself a quarterfinalist or semifinalist anymore, you're #Y.

As a ref, I REALLY like that I don't have to call as many penalties, and I actually have a chance of training the HP out of them quickly. Most teams figured out that "no advantage gained" is a pretty good reason not to do something.

The ranking system... eh, it is what it is. Put defense in there again and you won't be able to use it as the primary system, but I do think having it in there is a good idea. Maybe 1st tiebreaker.

Are there items I don't like? Yeah. Not the thread for those, though.
