If you look at the scoreboard, you see that they're theoretically a single ball away from a 3x score and a double G14. That's well within the fluctuation that others have talked about. And losing TWO super/empty cells is a very big deal.

I like the move of 987's part, it makes a lot of sense. It helps avoid a 3x G14, possibly a 2x G14, and increases their final RS by 1.67 (9 match regional).

I've voiced my opinion on the rule multiple other times in other threads, so I will no re-iterate it here. But the scoring issues are both silly in their own right, but as this thread clearly demonstrates, makes this rule even more "silly."
