Re: My case against <G14>
in general i dont have a terrible problem with this rule.
It gives an extra sense of strategy. Now this would be cool, if the drivers/coaches are unable to see the live score on the screen so teams would have to calculate scores in their heads. Plus it would give the crowd a bit more anticipation for the final score.
one thing i just thought of, if it’s been already mentioned i apologize, say your an insane scorer and your paired against other strong teams you'll be able to score high numbers of points, but say that same team is paired against not so great teams, then they will not be able to show their full potential to scouts which may lead to being overlooked at finals unless their strategy does not involve heavy use of super cells.
FIRST may have also added this rule for another reason. Say Alliance A goes ahead really quick, so now Alliance A goes on defense to insure a win. The score at the final 20 seconds is 60-46. Alliance A is holding their supercells and not using them, but Alliance B just needs to score one supercell to get an upset.
