yes justin, I agree with what you said

the scoring for finals this year was horrible, 2 out of 3 is better, and easier for spectators to understand.

go with raw scores for QPs. it is simpler to understand.

the games could be better. The last 2 years the game has seemed promising in the beginning, but at competitions it turned out into the same thing every match. The amount of competition is going down, to far.

The whole part about FIRST giving each team a list of what matches they are in and who their alliance partner and opponents are for the match is a bad idea in my opinion. They should have done it like they did in 2001. they gave you a list that looked like the following
MATCHES 1, 2, 3
Team 1
Team 2
team 3
team 4
team 5
team 6
team 7
team 8
team 9
team 10
team 11
team 12

They would tell you who you alliance partners were when you were called to the staging area. It made things interesting. It was more challenging, an didnt emphasize so much on the whole scouting thing. It gave a good challenge of being able to work somethin out for a strategy in a very short time.

They need to design a game that guarantees a different match every time. 2003 turned out to be whoever knocked the pyramid over first would win. It was boring.
