I was a rookie this year on a rookie team but I thought the rules were fairly simple. Sure, they were difficult to verbally convey to someone but once they saw the match in motion it was o.k. Perfect example, my Grandmother went to Orlando to see the competition on Saturday. I tried to explain the rules to her but it was a bit overwhelming. Once she saw a match she got it. The second match she saw was the semi- on Galileo with team 122, my adopted team. and their alliance. Once they hit the kill switch she looked at me an said, "Wow! That's gonna be a big one. At least 500 points." She was right, it was 530. My Grandmother isn't the typical little old lady, she's pretty quick. That's just my take on the situation.
