Re: Finale Blocking Strategy

An interesting question... a possible Q&A question... and a great YMTC (you make the call) starter for the season.

I hope GDC will have a chance to answer this in the Q&A. My bet is that during the finale the intent is to allow teams a chance to climb the tower safely and that "defending" teams will be advised to give the tower a wide berth.

I say penalty for redabot, but not a red card.

Edit: And, as has often been mentioned, Gracious Professionalism is not a yardstick for measuring others. But I believe it would be totally fair, and in keeping with the nature of the game, to push a redabot into the tower and force them to take a penalty (if, indeed, it turns out that it is a penalty), so long as it doesn't create a safety hazard. Anyone silly enough to play D against a team with a superior drivetrain in this scenario deserves what they get.
