Elitist Teams

I will put this out there for everyone. We are by no means perfect. At times during a competition watching matches and evaluating teams, we make comments that are not always positive. We are obviously always evaluating teams on their performance and ability to execute a logical strategy.

When I see a match were six teams have no plan in place or any strategy to succeed, I tend to make comments about it to my teammates. When a team should single balance for the win, and instead messes around trying to double balance...I get upset.

Most of the time, there are other teams that can hear us. I am sure they are thinking that we are making these statements because we think we are better than the teams on the field.

I wish we could help every team get better both with their machine and strategy. This would make our job much easier in strategy discussions...and playing matches much more fun. Our team loves offense....so a 100 to 99 victory, would be (although extremely stressful) very awesome! This is why I love playing on Einstein and at IRI. The level of play is so high, it's amazing!

Anyway, I figure I should put those imperfections out there for everyone to balance all the positive comments...before someone else come on here and states that they have experienced us being elitists in some way.

One of my favorite things to do it to show up to competitions we are not at and try to help other teams with strategy tips or advice from what I have seen while watching matches. If a team wants my advice great, if not no problem either.
