I agree whole-heartedly. Aside from my obvious personal attachment to that year, I loved that game because of its simplicity. 2v2, balls all over the place, and the constant stealing/restealing of the black balls added a whole other dimension to the game. I also loved that it was easy (atleast from the drivers' station) to see the current score. It made predicting the outcome simpler and allowed for teams to better coordinate the final score so as to help the loser but to also boost the QPs (that year you received 3 times the losers score).
