Breaking the Tie
I have to agree, there should not even be the temptation for strategizing a tie. Our team was the one at the Nats which had the tie. Coincidently it was against another team from LI, and both of our teams are quite friendly (Team 28). Now, obviously we didn't plan to tie down in Fla. but when the coin leaned on the teather of our mouse (to further the anxiety), the adviser of the other team and I agreed that, at that point, the win was not as important as the amount of fun we had in getting there.
I have seen at least one match at a regional "plan the match" when one alliance was obviously out matched. They scored almost a perfect score, and the losers were still happy with what they got because it was higher than there previous average. I think FIRST will realize their goof. BTW I now like coin tosses--only because we won it  |
