high scored matches

[SGK]

Am I crazy or not?

I watched some of the last qual matches over the web and in listening to the commentators and looking at the clock it seem that the human player period was 15 seconds and not the 10 that we had at UTC and BAE. I know at the UTC scrimmage that FIRST was thinking about 15 for safety reasons but is this official now or just implemented locally in FL.

Seeing matches with stacks > 4 means that a human player had time to (and did in some of my viewing) cross the field to put 4 on 4, etc. Even with 15 seconds this is a tall task, but with 10 seconds, almost impossible.

Whether allowing 8-stacks to be created & standing on both sides is "decided" by opposing forces before the match, I do not know. Is it Graciously Professional to have both sides work together to get the highest scores?

Working together and getting 15 H.P. seconds, however, would allow for the extremely high QP scores in FL.

Just my 2 cents worth.


P.S. BUZZ likes to and will knock down any size stack!
