Re: Boring Game

Definitely not boring if you're a referee....

Teams are playing "two different games" this year. In the qualifiers its all about Cooperatition™ and ranking points. Although the GDC made the game very simple and easy to watch, the motives in the qualifiers are completely skewed. Trying to get ranking points instead of winning the game plus all the penalties and cards makes the game super hard to follow. Even for the people IN FIRST.

However, I challenge you to watch ANY of the regional elimination matches and tell me that they were boring. In the elims you have the best of the best all competing for the sole purpose of winning. THIS is the game the GDC had in mind...and I LOVE it.

Unfortunately for the first day and a half, watching grass grow is another way to waste your time.
