Re: New Ideas for next year's competition

The main problem with a 2v2v2 is that it can very easily turn into a 4v2.

for example.

Red alliance is two undefeated verteran teams (lets call them Chill and Toad Troop)

Blue alliance is consisted of the bustedbox1 and brokenarm1

White alliance has Wethoughttherewasaweek7and8, and also servodrivetrain.

The match starts and immidiately bostedbox1 and Wethoughttherewasaweek7and8 block Chill and Toad Troop, respectively. Then, while being blocked, Chill and Toad Troop manage to score about 10 points. Unfortunately, bustedarm and servodrivetrain each get 11 and 14 points respectively, through some luck and a bit of uber driver skill. Now, there's nothing wrong with having a 2v2v2, but when Chill and Toad troop dont get a real competitive chance, its not remotely fair.
