The GDC is also human (last I checked... it's possible, based on his widespread approval, that Frank is in fact a collection of kittens in a human suit) and as long as they are trying to give us a cool game I'm happy.

BUT I think in this case we might need dedicated scorekeepers to track defense crossings.

Unless I really hit my head hard, didn't we have scorekeepers hold a plunger in 2015 after we needed them in 2014? I guess you could say that the scoring was far less subjective in 2015 than 2014 for assist points, but wouldn't we say that crossing a defense is pretty cut and dry?

Just like Aerial Assist, I like the core game mechanics and I understand it can't be automated, but it seems like ease in the administration of points was left by the wayside after it was an obvious lesson learned from 2014-2015.

It's incredibly hard to justify blaming a person for what is pretty obviously a systemic issue.
