I'm with Kyle, this game was pretty much two defined ways to score. And scoring underneath goals was not really a game determinant. It wasn't exactly an outstanding quality either. I know when it came to scouting the teams that couldn't cap were pretty much ruled out right off the bad.
In a sense, last year's game was better. You could focus on the bar in the center, the 2x ball or the human player. Why did FIRST decide to change that this year?
I think that alliances should stay the way they are. 8 teams is a pretty good number, especially for the championship event. It's incredibly hard to stay on schedule with any more than that. And picking within the top 8 is good, sometimes. I have been to off-seasons that let you and off-seasons that don't. Usually you get the "super" alliances (like 56, 103, and 25 at PARC yesterday), and then the 8th seed is the "leftovers." But at nationals, that doesn't really happen. There are usually at LEAST 24 competitive teams to pick from. So it works out. Either way, it makes for great stories when the 8th seed can beat the #1 seed (like 447 did to us in Galileo this year).
