Was Rebound Rumble the Best Game Yet?

[JackN]

In the past eight years that I have done FIRST, I would rank this years game fourth. My personal favorite is Aim High, I think it is a more well done version of this game. The scoring and pace at which the game was played was much higher than any other game I have seen, with full court plays being made at all times. The two greatest plays I have ever seen in FIRST history occurred in 2006, one featuring Team 25 and the other featuring Team 71.

I have never been a fan of games that are defined by the end game. Games like 2007, 2011 and 2012 were so heavily influenced by the final 15-20 seconds that they rendered the other 100 seconds mostly useless. Ranking the eight games I have seen I would say it is 06>10>08>12>05>07>11>09
