Go to Post I suggested it in brainstorming, but then people threw things at me. Apparently there ARE bad ideas in brainstorming. - Kevin Sevcik [more]

Also, 2007 and 2011 were very different in terms of crowd appeal and gameplay. 2007's scoring was a lot more difficult to tabulate off hand, given its exponential nature (though the general sense of "long rows are good" was easy to convey). Additionally, in 2007 each alliance had their own scoring pieces but shared a scoring area (the rack). In 2011 it was the opposite, as alliances shared scoring pieces but had individual scoring areas.
Just because both games had tubes placed on pegs doesn't make them similar.
I wasn't saying that easy scoring calculations was the criteria for all my favorites. Everything from 1 down isn't that easy to calculate quickly or follow simply. The best FRC Games are though, imho. the other games I listed I just thought were cool!
