That doesn't mean that it's essential for them to know ins and outs of it, but generally be able to catch on in a short period of time.

Si or no?
I think the audience was underestimated by some last year when Rack 'n' Roll was unveiled. As we expand and grow and more audiences are reached, we are developing a fan base of people who are catching onto what FIRST is about. In my opinion, the GDC is very aware of what our expanding audience will find entertaining and exciting. At the least, they are hopeful. The audience will 'get it', I'll just bet. (I met some folks that 'happened by' in Atlanta last year and they thought the game was amazing.)
