Week 2 Impressions of Rack 'N Roll

[JoeXIII'007]

I dont mean to break ice here or anything... but Great Lakes was AWESOME, knowing that the full potential of the game was realized as the days went along.

Progressively from friday to saturday, the matches got more rigorous, and the competition increased. It just so happened that the one time our team lifted for 45 points, the other alliance had a row of 6 for 64, that was the caliber of competition, it was amazing.

That said, the system for choosing qualifying match alliances NEEDS TO CHANGE, PERIOD!!! I love the FIRST people for what they do, but my Lord, they screwed up big time with that. With 59 teams, 80 matches, we shouldn't be paired up with the same teams twice.

From there, I really cannot wait for nationals, by then they should have the kinks in the 'randomization' figured out and fixed, and the dynamics of the game should be fully realized.

Good luck to everyone in the next few weeks.
