05 World Wide High Scores

[Lil' Lavery]

I wont say this is a boring game, because it isnt. Week 1 may have been packed with low scores, and TONS of penalties, but by week 4 or 5 scores should increase a good 10 points per match as teams get used to avoiding penalties.
Even during day 2 of competition the scores went up significantly. Especially during the elims, where penalties happened FAR less than during the qualifying matches.
The bottom line is, the final match in VCU was a 1 point win, and usually, that means it was one exciting match.
The way this game is designed, the best, and most exciting matches, wont be the ones with incredibly high scores. Because to get a high score, you have to own almost all of the goals, and that typically would mean it was a pretty lop-sided match. The most exciting matches are going to be the ones with scores like, 29-28, 38-35, ect, where both alliances are going to have a row or two, and then it comes down to the amount of tetras in play. The 98-0s, or the 76-10s, while 1 team will get excited, the audience will not feel the same way.
