Re: What is missing from this years game?
This game is…
Awesome!
1. It’s up to us to help Grandma understand and score. Maybe someone with skills can draw up this idea as a one page hand-out for upcoming regionals.
After about three matches at GLR I realized counting tetras was difficult. Instead, I would cancel tetras. First, count rows scored, one team will usually end up plus 1, plus two etc. Then start with tetra’s, one red cancels one blue so you only have to count plus one, minus one etc. Often the home rows would cancel each other entirely. After lunch on Friday I was able to know who won 90% of the time in about 5 seconds.
2. The refs and the teams improved hugely between week 1 and 2. Many teams were able to go through an entire comp with no penalties. The refs got a lot more comfortable with interpreting the rules. In one match a GLR a team got clobbered in the Auto load zone. The ref asked if their intent was to load and they graciously said no. There was no penalty. (They lost the match). I don’t think that happened in week one.
3. I’m really looking forward to week 3 and beyond, Good Luck to all teams.
