Little too late, I already voted for it.

With the games left I think 04 should run away with it. My favorite is still 07 though...

Rack n' Roll is my favorite game, I wonder how the results would differ if we did a tournament instead of survivor.

That'd be a cool thing to do when this is done. We could use the reverse order in which they were voted off as seeding numbers.

I find it interesting that the games from years ending in 4 and 6 are the only ones left. I wonder if this means 2014 and 2016 will also be great games?

[sgreco]

I personally think 2003 looks really fun, I wasn't around then though...so I wouldn't know. I guess it's really hard to vote about games that you weren't around for.

[Schnabel]

Personally I think 2008 should have made it farther because, like 2006, it was easy to describe to the Non-FIRST audience. Also I thought it was more high paced.

2007 is one of my favorites, if not my favorite, as well. I was sad to see it go so early.

I have to agree here, 2008 is one of the most underrated games. I think it's mostly because people thought the no defense thing took out too much strategy. The other reason I think people didn't like it is because of G22, which I had no problem with, but a bunch of teams did apparently. 2008 was definitley a great game to watch.

Touche

I enjoyed 2008 very much, since it was very easy to explain, very interesting and challenging concept, and was just overall excellent. It made me very sadface when it was gone, but I since I cant really vote to keep it alive, I couldn't keep it alive.

I disagree. I thought, that once you understood the game well enough that is, that it was really boring to watch. I know some people are going to quote the finals on Einstein and Qf4.1 or something like that from IRI that year but I've seen them all and yea they were really good matches but i still found them to be rather boring. The most exciting part of the game was watching teams try and launch a ball at the end of the match, and not every team could launch balls so it didn't happen every match.

I'd like to know how many people are voting off games they never competed in personally & why?

Just wondering.
