I recently posted a question on Q and A concerning how G14 will be used in eliminations. I am sure others have noticed this too but by rule, if an alliance doubled the score of the other alliance during eliminations...it would result in a loss of 3 supercells in the next match...one for each team...

A 3x result in the first match would mean a loss of 6 supercells.......

I asked for a clarificatoin on how this rule would be used in elimination rounds.

In my opinion.... the rule should not be used in elimination rounds...
If there is some other reason for the rule other than trying to make the matches closer so less experienced teams can still be in close matches... I would like to hear it... I can see this for the qual matches...

Eliminations should be just that... the better alliance wins...
What could actually result is a really good alliance beating a team badly in the first match... being handicapped in the 2nd match and losing and then when the third match is played blowing out the other team again but NOW they have to worry about the next elimination round... they will again start that match handicapped...

I just fail to see the reasoning behind the use of this rule during eliminations if we are trying to get the best alliance....
the carryover issue is interesting...

It is sort of like World Cup Soccer and the yellow card rule that states if you have two yellow cards you have to sit out the next match... even if its the final...

The only difference is that there is no real penalty or transgression going on when you get nailed by G14 You are just trying to do your best to play the game as designed...

Yellow Cards in World Cup are for pretty bad penalties that are real physical violations on the field... different I think

In my opinion at least...
