I don't necessarily think this is a good thing, though. Most of the general public isn't at Championships; the public usually watches matches at the regional level. A majority of the feedback from the bystanders I asked, including family and friends I dragged to competitions, was that AA was hard to understand and a bit boring. Explaining the penalties to bystanders was difficult; this is especially true earlier in the season.

Most matches in AA, on a regional level, were decided by heavy defense or tough penalties. Rather than teams racking up big numbers and showing off their potential, most games felt like more of a grind. I just don't think AA was very public-friendly or fun. While the Einstein field was exciting, I think that a game needs to be accessible AND ENTERTAINING to the public. An end game helps in this regard.

Also, to jump on the bandwagon, HQ Livestreams please! c:
