Q&A 6v0

[dtengineering]

I don't think you need to ask the GDC if they foresaw the possibility of a 6v0 match.

There are two possibile answers to the question. "Yes, we foresaw this as part of the game." or,

"No. We took a large group of brilliant people, many with years and years of FRC experience, and introduced a completely new ranking system without thinking of the possible outcomes, opportunities and team stragegies that might result."

They may also want to point out that this outcome had never occurred to Dean Kamen, either, in the years in which he was pursing a patent on this particular ranking mechanism.

I suspect the GDC is enjoying watching teams wrap their heads around this ranking algorithm.... and is probably a bit surprised that it has taken teams so long to clue in to the options this ranking system presents to them.
