What do you think about <G14> in eliminations?

What I said, looking at the webcasts on Gameday, was something to the effect of: "We were all wrong."

We thought that <G14> wouldn't be an issue, mainly because SCs would be ignored, or because scores would be higher. We thought that teams would willingly take a <G14> to ensure a win.

After Week 1, we were shown wrong.

1114 scored on themselves to avoid it. They lost in QFs for other reasons, but I think a Super Cell helped after it was scored on one of their partners.

217, who said that they WANTED <G14> violations (at least, Paul Copioli did), used SCs quite a bit.

Super Cells were a huge factor in several events, and many matches. More teams lost because SCs were scored in the last few seconds than I care to remember.

<G14> is NOT a minor rule, like we thought it was. It will have a major effect, unless the later events step it up a notch or three.

Note: I was mainly watching Midwest and New Jersey, with a bit of DC elims.
