Another thing I want to talk about is this malicious ramming rule. Who makes this rule and what if your trying to stop someone from getting to a goal. They make all of these analagies to football but its turning out to be soccer

Personally, I liked 2001. True, it was 4 vs. 0, but then it was also very competitive. One side would try to outdo the other for points, but without all the smashing and bashing.
They are trying to say "ramming is fine, but don't go out to damage". In essence, they don't want Battlebots style fighting, but a little bout here and there won't hurt anything.
