Re: Official 2005 Clue Thread

The night before kickoff, and I'm surprised nobody has posted this idea yet:


After all of the focus on coopertition over the past four years, I was thinking about how purple (amethyst) was a combination of blue and red. What if the center was out, or it was a neutral zone, where points (or a multiplier) counted for both teams?

Whereas before, you could only score for you or your opponent, making almost certain that the weaker alliance would get blown out of the water, now you would have an area where both alliances would want to score (and not descore), in addition to the individual scoring zones.


Incedently, I predict that the field will probably be similar to the past couple of years, because of all of the regionals (new diamond plating for 30 regionals? you've got to be kidding!), we'll probably still have spherical scoring units, and autonomous and infrared will be more important than ever.
