Did everyone have trouble explaining the game?

After about the tenth time explaining the game, I boiled it down to:

1. All four robots are on the same team.
2. Small balls are one point, big balls are 10
3. Robots in the endzone are ten points.
4. Each goal on the bridge mulitplies your score by two
5. There are time multipliers.

It takes longer to explain baseball. To read some of the posts here, the FIRST rulebook was like the tax code or something.
