In 8 years of competing, this was the worst game ever.
I found this very disturbing after the delagates from FIRST told us at the Forum last year that they were putting more emphasis on designing a good game after the problems they had with Zone Zeal.
I agree, the game will never be fair for everone, and we should always remember that this is a great experience, but FIRST must try harder and we MUST complain about what is wrong for a few key reasons,
As a mentor, I try to inspire through the mission of FIRST. The moment I have to start making excuses for FIRST, it undermines my ability to promote it as the greatest organization in the world. If there are glaring problems with the game, with the rules, with the scoring, or with anything; we must say something because to say nothing is saying that a mediocre organization is good enough. I cannot inspire greatness with mediocrity!!!
