2013 Lessons Learned: The Negative

[coalhot]

I have to say this year, the game was quite impressive. While it may have been slightly boring (shooting game, 5 out of the last 6 games have also been shooting games), it was an incredibly fun game to watch. This will be one of those games that they use film from in promos for years to come.

The refing from throughout the season was quite inconsistent. Trying not to bash too much here, so I'll be breif. I don't mind bad calls, but if there's going to be bad calls, call them consistently. Don't call qualifications and eliminations differently.

Then again: GDC, please make an easier game to Ref.

One more thing, someone in FIRST needs to run workshops for the cameraguys as to what part of the field they are aiming the camera during the webcasts. I saw a lot of matches yesterday where a lot of exciting play was happening on one side of the field, and the camera was aimed at the other side where nothing was happening.
