The rules aren't that bad this year but still they could be edited.

Replays...are you serious????
This topic has been discussed to death. FIRST has always had a problem with time, there never is enough of it...adding 1 extra minute to every qualification match to look at video is inconcieveable. I was once a supporter of this, until I understood that if it was used, it would be used so much for EVERY penalty that we would need an extra day of competition (or deliberation as the case would be). I assure you, when the ref's meet up in the center of the field to discuss a penalty, I can attest we are not talking about what's for lunch. So please....lets drop the whole NFL way of the game, and let's just start playing by the rules; because then who knows, penalties might never show up.
