# not returning to Dow Red Stick Rumble

If you want an off-season event that makes up rules as they go, and the officials answer your questions with "its an off-season event" then the Dow Red Stick Rumble is for you.

If you want an event where they announce the rule changes from the "in season" game 2 weeks before the event, and then don't have referees that understand either set of rules, then the Dow Red Stick Rumble is for you.

If you want an event that announces that the top five alliances are not allowed to pick each other during the alliance selections, therefore making your scouting worthless, then the Dow Red Stick Rumble is for you.

If you think that the #1 alliance should battle the #2 alliance in the semifinals, while the #3 and #4 alliances watch; then the Dow Red Stick Rumble is for you.

If you want something that resembles a real FIRST tournament to give your team experience, then the Dow Red Stick Rumble is NOT for you.

I wish we would have just taken the refund, when they changed dates at the last minute, instead of jumping through many hoops to support the event.

Before you even go to the read the rules or that's Un-GP; if the rules (that were actually used) had been posted beforehand, we would have had a choice to attend or not. As it played out; well suffice it to say we are not going back.
