It is definitely more rough-and-tumble than last year, but I loved playing and loved watching it. Maybe Portland was "nicer" than some other regionals, but I saw a lot of shoving, nudging, and leaning, but only a very few cases of brutal ramming. Frankly, I saw more high-speed ramming last year than this, and last year no one had big, cushy bumpers to protect themselves. I want to run this game again -- I wish there were off-season events in the northwest.
