Graciously to Dick Ledford and others wanting rule changes due to 469's strategy: As stated, several teams are directing balls. 469 just happens to be doing it VERY well. Although it may not be "fair" to you that they loop balls, the GDC has allowed it in their rules. They even specifically allowed the directing of balls in the rules by a passive mechanism, exactly what 469 is using (although it can flip other ways, at the time they direct it, the mechanism is stationary).

My view on the subject, and several others, is 469 is a good team who pulled off a great strategy with a good design. Would we ask the GDC to not allow teams to score TONS of balls in a match, or for them to limit the number of teams able to hang/suspend during a match? Of course not! That's the point of the game! To ask the GDC to change rules so you can more easily beat them, or completely shut down their design, is ungracious on your part. It's a game, and they happen to play the game well.


I agree with EricH also! Please close the tread.
