Re: FIRST Stronghold Game Explanation.

Looks better. Since the score screen will be right in the face of the uninitiated, it might be better to spend some real estate explaining the score screen with a graphics for in match and final score screens-- the tower strength numbers and defenses crossed portions particularly. I.e. they are looking for tower = 0 and 4 white bars as a good thing! (Game score needs little explanation)

I think understanding the scoring screen is far more interesting and valuable to your audience than knowing there are 4 categories of two defenses each and knowing the specific names of the defenses or specific point values for different actions. Noting that auto scoring and end game scoring pays off better than mid match scoring is useful though.

Note that the teams in Quals want to win matches, but what is really important is ranking points and the win and the green check marks on the final score screen denote that.
