Go to Post Well, air conditioners when pointed inside the house make it cooler. So I figure if EVERYONE turns their air conditioners on full blast and just point them out the window, we should more or less get rid of this "warming" nonsense. - Mike [more]

Re: Petition: Lower technical foul values to make this game better

No.
This is unfair to week 1 and week 2 regional teams who have already played and have lost because of unintentional tech fouls on their end. If you lower them, then that means we would have to play all the week 1 and week 2 regionals again because of changes made in the rules.
The rules that tell both teams and refs how fouls/tech fouls should be assessed have been around since kickoff. Teams should have already known about what causes foul/tech foul and designed/practiced around not causing said fouls.
Every single team has had at least 6 weeks to know the rules of the game. Lowering tech foul points for something that everyone knows will cause an infraction is unacceptable. The biggest tech foul I've seen is HP over passing their border. The human player should have it ingrained in their mind that they cannot pass the border that was set by FIRST in the HP zone.
Other tech fouls sometimes cannot be avoided, sometimes they're even unintentional, but if you play their game you play by their rules. No exceptions.
