At events, the Field Crew is instructed to use new and untouched game pieces whenever possible during the finals matches. This is to help simulate a 'perfect game state' and limit any variance between alliances for the most critical matches. While highly used game pieces won't affect game in a drastic way, its good peace of mind to the players that they are using fresh game pieces that will optimize their designed systems.

In the same way, Einstein Field is unused so teams have a fresh carpet, clean plexiglass, and unbroken field tape that perfectly simulates the field as described in the game manual. It makes sense for the championship matches to be played on the most optimized field as possible so all that determines the outcome is the robots and their teams.

Can this tradition be dispensed with? Possibly, but that's a question for those who are not me to answer.
