In regards to Match 100:
I think by now it's quite obvious that the FIRST Community is quite split on the strategy played during that match.
I was often told that when reading the rule-books, I should keep in mind what the GDC ment for the game to have, and not to Lawyer. Now we could have a whole conversation on that, but this is not what I'm trying to get into. Sadly, the tournament set-up is one of those areas where we're not sure about the GDC intent with the game. I have seen posts that say both that the system was not ment to be used in 6v0, and others that the GDC was planning for matches like Q100. Both sides have very strong arguments.
In the end, 1114 interpretaed useing 6v0 as a scenario the GDC designed the rules to allow, and that it was not a whole in the Seeding system.
So I belive we should stop taking hits at certain teams for there own interpreations of the Rules.
I think its perfectly fine (if not awesome
) to discuss if 6v0 was an intention of the GDC or not, but I think it would be a good idea if we keep in mind when doing it, that this is something that people have to interpret and have an opinion on. An opinion is an opinion, and an opinion can-not be wrong or right.
