I have been reminding people of this change in other threads, and I don't intend to derail them. Sorry 'bout that. EDIT: about.
I Game Announce in New England and I can't even count the times last year that I kept saying "eliminations". It's an 18-year habit.
It took me two competitions to stop saying that the Red or Blue alliance "won" a match last year. (So glad that's gone)
Oops, don't say won his year, they're the Victors, and not the ones from the Robot.
My problems so far this year include calling "boulders" balls and confusing the Tower with the Castle.
I should be well calibrated by the NEDCMP.
