I am very happy with this years game! I do not feel that the penalties are out of proportion. Above are the mach results for the New Jersey Regional. I am a little disappointed in what I'm seeing. Keep in mind these numbers are based on 55 matches!

* 18 matches that have had single digit scores.
* match #25 Teams 1563, 1412, 555, 1367, 896 and 293 all recieved zero points!
* Teams recieved zero points 9 times!
* 17 matches could have been won by all three teams climbing the ramp!

How is it possible for three robots to spend 2 minutes not moving a single ball into the low goals? or why can't any of these teams get up the ramp? What are they doing during autonomous?


If this game continues to score so low, teams should consider different strategies (I.E. get on the ramp, push balls to side goals, or do something during autonomous.)

This in no way is a hit against the game! This game was made for high scores!
