Re: Pool Noodles -- How Important?

If the noodle comes short of that then it ends up in the -4 area of their own playing surface. (If this includes being over the line of the landfill and own playing surface, the risk is even worse).

So the human player can score in the order of distance.

-4 for their own side
1 for their own side
1 for the opponents side
-4 for the opponents side

With odds like these, I am not sure we will even throw noodles and would probably try to dissuade our alliance from doing so.

Find my errors, or refute this.
first off, there were never negative points. second, they have updated the rules to prevent "the noodle agreement" . If you are red, and your HP throws your red noodle and it goes 2 ft into your red side of the field, it counts as nothing.

throwing a noodle, the HP can score 4, 1, or zero points for your alliance, or 1 point for the other alliance. If your alliance has a bot that is good at noodling a recycling container--great. If not, I have to agree with GBilletdeaux930 that there's not much downside to throwing...
