Re: Suffield Shakedown observations...
The Head Ref was Dr. Aidan Browne, Head of ALL referees and member of the GDC.
I know it wasn't asked but, FIRST was well represented in Suffield as this was the first time the field had been used in a competition setting. It was a "Suffield Shakedown" for FIRST as well as the teams. FRC Director Bill Miller, FRC Engineering Director Neil Rosenburg, the incomparable FSM from NJ, Paul Kloberg, FIRST National Advisor Dr. Flowers (and Mrs. Flowers, nice to see you again.) I am sure there are others that made the trip from Manchchester, NH that I missed.
All of your questions regarding the game are important, but just keep in mind, this game, even though it seems simple, has quite a few of different variations and will evolve as the events unfold. Week 1 regionals will be very different than Week 6 Regionals and this is only the beginning.
