Their are alot of Excellent Teams in the curie division this year.
Most of you Regional Winners and Finalists. You got that position because you played fair. By not fixing Matches and helping your alliance partners repair their robots before there next match even though it just rolled around doing nothing. That My friends is sportsmanship. I guess that would be my definition of G.P. (Gracious Professionalism) Helping other teams repair their robots so that they may also enjoy the competition is GP.
But to ask Teams to not go after each others stacks or to simply be nice to your opponents points is unfair and makes the match boring. Spectators like to watch things being knocked over and the beating and banging for KOTH thats why this game is called Stack Attack. Whats there to watch if u take knocking the stacks away. 1 m 20s worth of fighting for KOTH?
I see that you guys want to help each other to seed with the Highest QP's and all but it takes away the competition.

Deciding, during the game, not to attack your opponents if they are not attacking you is one thing. Deciding upon this before the round, is dishonourable

May all the teams Travel safely to Houston TX and return home safely. And May all teams participating this year in the Nationals play FAIRLY by the RULES and play with GRACIOUS PROFESSIONALISM!
