I should clarify, very few high goal shots and no captures. I've only been able to watch ~15 matches because of class and things, so I didn't want to confirm/deny any absolutes about the event. It certainly does seem harder than expected to score, though obviously that will change as we get further into the season. I have also noticed, however, that the field seems pretty dimly lit on the webcast. I wonder if is drastically affecting camera feeds and vision tracking for drivers (not that this is what is causing the low boulder scores).
