Re: <G14> Shenanigans?
If I am reading this rule correctly, and judging from these posts I am, I think it's pretty ridiculous. It essentially encourages teams to not do their best. Shouldn't FIRST be all about encouraging every team to do their absolute best, regardless of outcome? I don't take a crushing defeat as... well... a crushing defeat. I take it as a chance to learn and grow.
Even more importantly, it punishes people that have NOTHING TO DO with the previous match.
