Mobile/immobile objects on field

[Mark Hamilton]

I hope you dont apply this reasoning to everyday events. You can't get a pattern out of 3 games, especially when if you go back further you get very definite evidence it's not true. The most you can get out of looking back is a good idea of what you won't see in next year's game. Look at what caused problems or just didn't work, and you can see what probably won't be in the next year's game. For example, most people hated the coopertition of 2001, and it went back to 2 on 2. 2002 encouraged pushing matches for the first time, which was fun, but lead to carpet damage. The next year the field was designed so pushing matches ussually occured off the carpet. So what didn't work last year? The eliminations scoring, the ease of damaging bins, the unproductiveness of stacking, and the encouragement (unintentionally) of "destructive" rather then "constructive" play. So my vague predictions are this:
Eliminations will return to 2on2, their will be a scoring object, but it will be sturdy, possibly a solid object. It will be designed in such a way that it is easier to score more points for yourself then to remove points from your opponent.
