Re: What is missing from this years game?

I finally got a chance to watch some of the regional footage this weekend - a friend gave me a tape of the peachtree regional. I have to agree. I started out loving the game, and all of the last minute tetra placements, and collisions, and capping, and blocking, and re-capping. But after it was all over, none of the great on-field action seemed to matter much. Perhaps it'd be easier to watch if the penalties were kept up real time on the scoreboard with the rest of the points, instead of being a nasty surprise at the end. That would have a great effect on the game's watchability.

All that said, I do like the game - it is neat to watch, and I'm sure that teams will get better at avoiding penalites as the competitions go on.
