Re: Predictions for BAE Regional?

I this years scoring is simple based on the "human factor". It passes the criteria of can I explain how the scoring works to my mother and she gets it immediatly. For the last two years, this is my 3rd as a mentor, when I tried to explain how the scoring works with multipliers and some of the other more slightly eccentric way things are written people who just walk in or are unfamilier with FIRST just sort of got a blank look on their face. This year I can say 1 point for a tetra in the goal, 3 for a tetra on top, 10 for a "tic-tac-toe". and 10 for all robots in your color zone. People can understand this better than total the number of boxes subtract the hieght of the tallest stack and multiply by it, and last year although I loved the game outside people never seemed to know who won. Most of them seemed to think hanging on the bar was an automatic win, they didn't understand you could out score the other alliance with small balls.

This year anyone who just walks in can quickly figure out the raw score on their own. I don't track penalties because:
A.) I think everyone rarely sees the flags thrown because they are following on field action.
B.) The MC always seems to explain a penalty that effects the outcome of the match.
