Re: How do you guys feel about this year's competition

As a ref, this is going to be a challenge. I get that the BOULDER scoring is automatic, but refs will have to be able to accurately see the OUTER WORKS so as to be able to tell when a DEFENSE has been CROSSED. Then they have to go back to ref panels to record this action.

How many times are we going to hear "but the lights didn't go off" this year? Also, there is no minimum or maximum for the strength of the TOWER, so a team that gets two TECH FOULS prior to SCORING won't have any lights turn off on the TOWER until they score their third BOULDER - surely someone will believe this to be a field fault.

However, it will be an awesome game to ref!
