Re: is this another game hint?

I think it could be an actual hint. There's been a lot of this kind of stuff on the FIRST website. I'd believe a certain number of typos, but this is really a lot. Especially if they haven't been fixed (have they?).

Of course, just because something is a hint doesn't mean it tells us anything.

The last time the number 3 was significant in a game hint, we had Triple Play. After that year, a proposal was made on Chief Delphi for a game called Triple Replay, due to Dean's homework not getting done.

Got bad news for ya veterans, you're gonna have to really support the rookies this year.

Re: is this another game hint?

I do have to say that the number 3 is a game hint. I recently got an email from Woodie and he used three exclamation marks!!!

hehe

Re: is this another game hint?

If three is a huge hint to something fundamental to the game I doubt it is 3 minutes or three teams.

Large foam cutouts in the shape of the number 3.

Or three sided robots.

Or third place, as in the teams who lose in the semifinals play each other for a bronze medal.

Ok fine, I doubt it is any of these...
