YMTC: Per the CURRENT RULES how will FIRST score the STJB's?

meaubry · #1 19-04-2005, 22:05

I am extremely disappointed in this ruling , especially at this time. Since this has not occurred during the regional events, why take such evasive action now?
In avoiding a situation that they somehow overlooked - they have nullified what was a legitimate strategic maneuver, until today.
Seems kind of late to decide what is "good" and what is "bad" for the game.
I will also apologize now to any and all that I may have offended by stating my opinion.
But - I have always spoken my mind in support, as well as opposition, to the decisions made those in position to make them at FIRST. This one I am opposed to.
Isn't solving all of the problems part of the challenge?
Why penalize those that can or have figured out a way to play the game within all of the existing rules. Granted, this maneuver would have been a game changer for sure, but why penalize thinking "out of the box"?

I sympathize with you that it is late... and slightly irresponsible because you are PLAYING the game how they asked
BUT!
NO team has used this strategy.. so I don't really understand why you are upset.. of course it's not the most logical course of action.. but it isn't hurting anybody.. or giving anyone an advantage

This may be a silly question, but is a stack like this stbj actually possible? Has it ever happened? It doesn't seem likely or even possible to me... good discussion otherwise though.

Yes, it can happen. It happened at Midwest.
We practiced it a little before the update came out.

hmmm, I was reading this thread and had decided to vote #3 (blue has 1, owns goal), and then I read updade 21. I am suprised that the rulemakers actually agree with me for once, but I liked the discussion about an anti-capping strategy.
