William solidified his victory and control by instituting a major castle/stronghold building policy.

Takeaways: Hopefully a return to W-L-T scoring (difficult to see how an average score would work in a capture the flag type setting and they do not call him William the nice guy); defensive and offensive roles for robots; a playing field with challenging or movement restricting terrain features.
I'd like to see total score/average score (with rounding to the nearest integer) and W-L-T points used as the tie breaker. Frankly, you get a better distribution using average score than you do with the W-L-T method.
