I think we watch very very different versions of hockey.

Maybe I'm pushing it a little on hockey, but people compared Lunacy to ice hockey and I think this is closer to to the spirit of the game, with single game pieces, fast play, and assists. It had more in common with soccer, too, than Breakaway did.

Granted that CIMs aren't guaranteed but it will be a shocker to me if they are out entirely. It would be a nonsensical move and FIRST isn't stupid.

tl;dr

Clearly we will be having 15 teams on an alliance. Yes the field will be larger, but every team will get 60 matches per event...

Oh, and we'll still have bumpers.

What if qualifications are 6 team battle royale, and the only alliances are in elimination.

I thought the Chief Delphi community fought very hard for a long time to ensure qualification rounds were the same as elimination rounds...

Why would anyone ever build that many overlords!?!

I can't decide if my favorite part of that picture is that they only have 56 supply or the secondary batch of overlords you can see in the top right of the minimap.

e; Or the random control group of 2 overlords. This picture keeps getting better and better the longer I stare at it.

Clearly to do a mass zergling drop. It's a hidden hint for a flying game.

I could see the weight limit going down. And I also wouldn't be shocked by an initial height limit under 60 in.

I wouldnt mind seeing an old 2007 rule possibly come back.

Your weight limit depends on your height.
