While this years game is very violent, what would you rather have; more kids joining the program and changing their lives yet loosing a bit of FIRST from previous years, or keeping the previous years 'fun for the participants, not fun for the spectators' idea? I saw many spectators at Annapolis and explained the game at least 4 times to people. They watched for a long time. I would rather sacrifice a bit of the FIRST game ideas for inspiring more kids to join the program.

As long as the 'gracious professionalism' and the good will between teams is there, I see it as a 'win-win' situation.
