Re: Look Back: Week 5

I am from a very offensive team. Defense is part of teh strategy and I was very happen to see it being done well. 66 did a fantastic job at keeping the ball away from us and one of our partners 201 really worked over the thunderchikens.
My only gripe with defense was that in the eliminations there were several contact outside the bumper zone calls called on many of the hurdling teams (27, 217, 33, 67, 70, 494......). In one particular match we got 2 (yep -20 points) for a "defensive" bot hitting our arm. Let me clarify this. We were going for the ball and they drove into our arm and we got the penalty. Due to this interpretation of "incidental" contact not being "incidental", we could no longer play the game the way we had at other regionals and for that matter the rest of the weekend. It was very disheartening to go from only having a couple line penalties the first day and 1/2 to 7 (haven't reviewed the tapes yet, but this is about right) contact penalties in 6 matches. I have no problem with well driven tenacious D. I do have a problem with light touch fouls. Since this contact rule is the same as last year, I have a hard time understanding how there are so many penalties this year. Should Arm bots just pack it up?
