Re: <G14> Shenanigans?

This rule is both different and yet similar to previous years when the idea of NOT winning by too much was encouraged.

Similar in that it wasn't too long before most teams figured it out. Watch that the scoring isn't too one sided, and be prepared to alter the game plan if it gets to that point.

Different in that the penalty for bad behavior is being assessed - way after the fact. But mainly - NOT as part of the outcome of THAT match.

It would seem to me that the penalty for "blowing out" the opponent should be felt as part of that match outcome, rather potentially penalizing other teams that had nothing to do with the outcome of the match they are being impacted by.

I hope they re-think and possible alter ths rule, but I wouldn't count on it.
