We learned a new kind of game this year. New way to design, new way to play, new way to score, new way to advance, new way to ref.

I think this might have been a factor that allowed some teams to bubble up in stature. Top teams like 1114, 111 and 67 manage to fight through defense and still score in normal games. This year many mid-range teams could shine because they didn't have to try to fight defense and score.

I doubt we'll have another no-defense game next year, but it was a refreshing change this year.
