I found myself asking teammates whether or not teams were offsides a great deal. And heaven forbid you were a spectator. I took more than one person outside to watch the animation again more than once. Hell, the whole concept of an alliance takes most non-FIRSTers some time to grasp.

I mean, this isn't really a gripe. It's simply a observation that...well, as one of my friends put it after watching 562's noodle machine spin balls around, "I would concentrate on the game but oooh...pretty spinning colors!"

Wow.

Also: what was up with the BAE scoring system? For almost all of the finals the scores were read but not displayed.

And can anyone from the match we were in vs. 296 (when we tied them 8 vs 8) explain how by the beard of Zeus we tied 8 to 8 when there were no penalties and the live scoring read 55 to 8?

Previous posts have said most of what I observed. But, I am in the process of re-rendering some BAE footage for the web and will post in about an hour so you can see for yourself.
Dude, I'd love some of that footage. Especially of Kaizan or Northern Force...both of those teams had an extreme factor when it came to shooting.

And really...even most veteran teams didn't master shooting...
