Game 2 strategy
First I want to say that I agree with every person who has posted above. The rule should be changed and I am certain it will not be because it is just too late. That said I want to offer 2 new points to this discussion.
1.) The rule we have is because a large persentage of FIRST teams suggested that they try to make the Elims. more like the qualifying matches. FIRST tried to do that by making the Elims. based on QPs also. It didn't work, but that is why it is the way it is.
2.) I have been involved in the type of matches that Joe is talking about (quarterfinals and semifinals this weekend) and I can assure you that we played every match to win. Did the strategy change from match 1 to match 2? Of course it did. But we never played to lose, we just spent the extra time between autonomous and ramp fighting trying to un-score rather than score. The goal was to win with a small number of points in an effort to reduce risk.
I don't know if other teams had the same strategy or even if this is a big distiction. What do you all think?
