Re: Announcing BattleCry@WPI 8!

My gut reaction to this change isn't good. I think it's going to change the game dynamics drastically. It places much more emphasis on defense and lifting. It cuts down on rack potential dramatically.
Teams are not going to try and score near their home zone anymore, instead, they'll try for the outer edges of the rack. If two allied teams are successful in placing keepers, then all they have to do is play defense the rest of the match. Large rows aren't going to build up because, well, you own two columns. As long as I keep you from getting any lifting points, or really doing anything effectively for that matter, I'll be in pretty good shape to win.
