Joe, Wouldn't it be people vs floppies 1999?

I agree that the current system has some flaws, but I do not believe FIRST would change this late.

I think we're all just going to have to tough it out, and make the best of what we've been given. Everyone should be taking notes for the Team Forums this summer on what they feel should be changed.

Personally, I think the coolest format would be where you play 2 matches, and only your own points are cumulative. (As mentioned by Raul.) It would make things that much more exciting, while still maintaining the 2 match format.

Although, it would erase the interesting dynamic the current system has. We may not all like it, but you must admit, it makes for some pretty interesting strategy.

Besides... this competition isn't really about winning or losing anyway, is it?

Good luck to everybody in Houston.

Go Curie.
