Why change the rules?
Posted by Tom Lish, Other on team #126, Gael Force, from Clinton High School and Nypro, Inc..
Posted on 3/28/99 5:54 PM MST I have read just about all of the point of views that people have placed on this website, and I just feel that maybe it is time to throw my two cents in. No one is more in favor of having more teams in the qualification matches than I am. BUT I think that forming three team alliances only cheapens the title of National champions even more. Adding more teams an alliance is not a good solution at all. Why add teams to an alliance? Why not just add more alliance teams to the elimination rounds. To be perfectly honest I am not really in favor of whole alliance thing any way, but what are you really going to do about it. The worry that I had with the alliance partner thing was fear of backroom dealings, throwing matches,...etc. Extending the teams to a three alliance team only further complicates things. I feel that adding more teams( by means of more pairs(2) of alliances)to the elimination matches is a more viable solution. Think about the powerhouse tri alliances that could be formed(EX. Assebet, Bomb Squad,and Beatty) all on one team , it is just not fair. So what if one of the two robots breaks down in a match. That is why there are two isn't it. I can not tell you how many time we were paired with a machine that didn't move in conn., But we had to deal with it. So, I am just hopeing that they will extend the field in the elimination matches and not add a third team to an alliance. Well i've now voiced my opinion ( which is somthing that I usually do not do ,but I guess i just felt strongly about this topic). Sorry for rambling and boring all of you. Good Luck at the Nationals!! Tom Team #126 "Bad Larry" |
