How have you liked watching the game so far?
If matches where closer to 11-8, then I don't think I'd have a problem with any of it. This is about the range I was expecting it to be, jumping another maybe 5 more points for the Finals. However the average at the FLR was like 3-2 after penalties, and I'm sorry the quantity of penalties just make the game so frustrating. On top of that when the first team to play a 6v0 stradigy scores one of the first and only 12-0 scores, completely blowing the curve and jumps 10 ranks, it hurts alot too those teams who worked hard and competitively to get into the top 8.

No game in the history of FIRST has made me angry. This one does.
