Re: My case against <G14>

Question from a new guy: Do they typically show live (real-time) scores during the matches? Will they be showing these scores during this year's games?
While I'm not sure it is required that live scoring is posted, it has been at every competition I have been to since 2005 I think. The live scoring, however, is unofficial and I have never found it to reflect penalties.

As far as why FIRST might want to eliminate blowouts, I suppose that's a matter of opinion. I was on the field for my 4 years as a student and towards the end, I felt like there was quite a bit of pressure on me to perform well. When did I perform my best? Right after competing well against another group of robots. I suppose some people could pull inspiration from a 70-12 loss but I am not him. The best match I ever had the privilege of being the driver for was a tie in 2006. It was incredibly thrilling. As far as the crowd goes, who enjoys a 50-10 football game? It's boring and the crowd often leaves early because of the lopsided difference in team caliber. I suppose getting beat badly is something people do have to deal with in their lives, but I have never heard that FIRST wants to show people what it is like to get blown out of the water. I'm sorry but this rule IMO just adds another dimension to the strategy and is a good one from FIRST.
