I didn't see that at my Week 5 regional in GTR.
I didn't see the rack filling up in any of the elimination rounds 48, 379, and 1006 were in. We were a hinge and a blown tread away from the finals.
How does a ref crack down on a ramp, anyway?
It's easy to put up huge tube scores if no one plays defense on you (especially if you don't have a full alliance against you - many alliances could score 300+ points if they were only facing one robot...
). If you want the snoozefest of 2005 and want the top offenses alliances to waltz to a boring victory, go right ahead and leave them alone. ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......
This is a call out to all teams at the Championship - play defense. It works. Play it fairly and smartly and within the rules, and it works. Don't be afraid to face up against the giants, stare them in the face, and get down to business. No one is entitled to a cakewalk. Make them earn those tubes!
I LOVE Rack n' Roll the way I've seen it played. Go GDC!
