That's my major logistical issue. Teams like to reuse things because we're not all made of money, and half of the money we're made of goes to registering for and attending the competitions. I see it as teams getting to mark off their "endzone" which sounds neat, but really broad and uneven rules and stretching to tie it into the theme is offputting and concerning. I'm not someone busting down doors screaming "THESE ARE THE END TIMES" but whatever.

Also, I don't remember there being a lot of groans over teams who won the 4 banner awards at an event being able to cut down the nets in 2012. Why? Great game with a neat theme that wasn't forced. We're projecting the 2015 experience onto the 2016 theme. It's not entirely unfair, but it's a conclusion drawn from incomplete facts.
