Re: Don't count goals scored for the ophttp://www.chiefdelphi.coposition - Yes or No?

I voted for the change not that I think there will be one, but it is something I'd support. I'd be in favor of this, or adding the Win-Loss back in. I fully respect the work of the GDC and understand the philosophy behind writing the current rules in the manner presented to us, but there seem (and I emphasize "seem" since I can't speak for he intent of the GDC's work) to be some unintended, if not undesirable consequences. Anyone who knows me knows I'm pretty much the only person on the planet who LOVED the 2001 game which was a 4v0 game, but this is very different to me

You can still "help" the apposing alliance to score in other ways without physically doing so - not defending, putting more balls in opponents scoring zone, etc.

The reasoning behind my position is exceedingly similar to the one already conveyed by Paul Copioli over here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...6&postcount=43

(Yes, I pretty much completely agree with Paul on this issue - go figure )
