It seemed like the aggresive side of this game is getting worse. In Cleveland everyone played nice, right up until the last few matches of the day on Friday (as expected) when teams started showing off their fighting ability for the finals.
But in Toronto, our first match of the day was a big brawl (it ended up being a 30-10 match... Toronto definitely seemed more violent. Even the refs appeared to emphasize the pushing aspects during their opening statements on Friday. Our team really wasn't designed to fight. As those who worked with us know, we can get the job done, but if someone comes out to bully us, we have issues. Our qualifying rounds in Canadia were much lower scores than Cleveland, possibly because teams were out to shut us down, rather than out score us. The gloves have decidedly come off....
Anyone else notice this, am I totally off base?
