Penalties should not decide the match, and this year they decided just about every match. This is the first year out of the 7 years I've been in first where just about every match had penalties in it, and 9 times out of 10 they decided who won. I know the GDC probably didn't expect as much pile-ups near the quadrant lines but, again you should try and expect the worst so you can plan around it.
I know. Our record was 3-8-0, and most of the time, we lost because of a penalty. Without penalties, we actually would have won more games.
