Just a little perspective from someone who was there (at the risk of this becoming an ad for my team....). Anyway, I was told (and this comes through the X-cats) that the reason an extra ball as not put in the goal was beause they were afraid an extra ball would not allow the big ball to sit on top of the goal and without that they were dead in the water.

The second point I want to make is that there wasn't a single black ball in the far goal. Not a one. And yes, there are robots (us in particular) that can handle those small balls well. Those WILL be the difference in elimination matches. I actually expect it to become more prevalent at Nationals because there will be more teams with comparable abilities. There's only so fast it's humanly possible to go. So I would say at least consider those black ball teams for the far side of the field....

Matt who's team still managed to get picked even if we were the last pick....(thanks Kodak/Marshall!)
