I've used TBA to explain the game challenge (post-season). Often I'll try to explain it with the game animation, but the people I'm explaining to can't visualize actual robots playing it. Then I'll show them a really well-played match from TBA , and they go, "Ohhhhh, that's what it looks like!" Post-season 2009, I showed a lot of people this match. It helped a lot in recruiting for my team.

I've also used TBA during the season to scout teams going into their second regional. It helps a lot to know not just that someone dominated a regional, but how they dominated it.

I <3 TBA! Thanks so much Greg and company!
