Re: Are The Penalties Too High?
The rankings in the end don't truly reflect how a team is really doing just because of penalties. A very good team might be hit with constant penalties from alliance partners. In the end with alliance pairings, some potentially very good teams would be forgotten. Too many games were decided by penalties, and if it happens in elimination, it just makes the losing team feel even worse knowing that they could have won.

In any case, I am in support of penalties, but 30 pts in a game when scores rarely go higher than 40 is not right.
