I mean, this isn't really a gripe. It's simply a observation that...well, as one of my friends put it after watching 562's noodle machine spin balls around, "I would concentrate on the game but oooh...pretty spinning colors!"


Also: what was up with the BAE scoring system? For almost all of the finals the scores were read but not displayed.


And really...even most veteran teams didn't master shooting...

I think everyone was at the wrong regional this weekend. NJ went really well and we didn't experience any of the problems other people are bringing up. The game is simple...whenever the green light above the colored ring is lit the corresponding allaince is on offense, and one member of the opposing allaince has to be the back bot.

As for shooting, we had some amazing shooters...25,103,293,522,1089 just to name a few. Once the members of 25 post some video it should be easier.

There was a glitch in the scoring system so when the elimination match scores were posted the winning allaince would have the correct scores, and the losing allaince would have 0...so that's probably why they didn't post the scores to avoid confusion.

I'm sure that all these problems will be resolved in future weeks.
