Those involved with FIRST will learn all the rules and more or less understand every penalty flag. The team sponsors and other spectators who come for the competition but didn't bone up on the rule book will not. This years game was frustrating for me because the posted score when the final horn sounded was never the final score, sometimes off by many tens of points and possibly changing who won or lost. At times, it seemed like a random number generator was involved.....

A game that can remove that confusion is way ahead. I'm not sure if has been a FIRST objective in the past to have a game with scoring clarity. Did they publish a game design rubric? That's the starting point.
