Prior to "WLT" being the first sort, the first sort in the standings was based on match scores (winning socre + 2x loser's score for winning alliance, losing score for losing alliance). This obviously encouraged high scoring matches, and particularly high losing scores. WLT sorting was first implemented in 2004, but the first tiebreaker for the next several seasons was the average loser's score in your matches. Thus, while winning was now a greater priority than high scores in qualifications, a high loser's score was encouraged. It was not uncommon to see powerhouse teams start scoring for their opponent once they had a sufficient lead (especially in 2006).
Which is totally not confusing for spectators...

Re: Official FIRST Stronghold Teaser!

I feel like capture the flag is always up for grabs but with the the new FRC Standards (thread for it) I think the game could totally be different. Cause the flags in the teaser may only be talking about the 'Standards' and nothing about the game.

I see you and I are thinking along the same lines.

Personally this video is just out to make us do super random guesses. Yes maybe there may be small hints in the video but now that they released the team standards ... like i said, this video might as well mean nothing since it was all about the flags. Only thing that we know is there is defense. This game is not going to be what we think even with all the guesses in this thread though who knows, some guesses may be closer than we think.

Re: Official FIRST Stronghold Teaser!

So because the flags in the teaser may just be referring to the standards we're seeing now. Any other theories as to what the game might be? I'd like to see King of the Hill, but It'd be hard to play it.

We do have to consider the fact that, every year rookie teams are at a disadvantage. No matter the game.

Which is why I'm sure the Game Development group makes an effort to avoid increasing that disadvantage.

It looks very similar to the Lord of the Rings font called "Ringbearer". I don't think it's exact, but very similar to the font used for the Stronghold logo.

Re: Official FIRST Stronghold Teaser!

True teaser! To my knowledge after watching the video, I think it will be an interesting year full of excitement. I can't wait.

I contacted FIRST. They said it's called Prophecy.

I think this might be worth considering. The dragon on the red flag is a different design than on the blue flag, and there is mention of attacking the challenge together (I'm not sure exactly what the verb used in the video is). No students were shown with a red flag, or in the same area as the red flag. All students were in a fairground that was oddly reminiscent of a pit area with different teams having different colours and set ups, so the setting of the video could be representative of a competition with largely separate areas. Field staff competing with students would introduce too much inconsistency, but it does seem like teams might be cooperating more than ever.
