Common sense is all it takes to prevent most accidents.

I think our team would enjoy traditional play, but obviously we are pretty biased design wise. Can battles are fun. Definitely excited to see what is decided.

Right, I wasn't expecting dangerous can battles at gitchi gummi or any other MN offseason events I had in mind either. I was wondering whether they had any interesting rule changes in mind, like the rule for IRI this year where each alliance gets 2 extra cans on their side of the field that they can place anywhere. Just anything to change the flow of recycle rush or add an interesting element to the game. I'm not asking for rule changes here, just wondering if they had any in mind, but regardless of whether the game at this competition is traditional or tweaked, sounds like it'll be a fun event.

Props to 2169 on the can burgulars, they were pretty impressive this year.
