Game Design Committee, As currently written, SG3 is penalizing teams for interactions that should not be illegal, and has resulted in frequent ticky-tacky penalties that are affecting the outcome of matches. Below you will find my rewrite of SG3 and reasoning as to why I believe this version would …

Underlying the aggressive nature to elevate and possess as many goals as possible, low points for rings. If rings were worth more, you might see teams actually focused on scoring them, rather than being a nuisance on the field - speed bumps/pot holes :slight_smile: Say make rings worth 5pts for bow…

[image] Milo: I agree that SG3 has many issues, and is very hard to judge. The GDC could do better on making this rule, but some of the proposed solutions will not fix the rule, but just make it harder to enforce To be clear, the goal of the rewrite did not state “Ensure the rule is easier en…

Just to add some data about how often SG3 DQs have to be made, I looked at the results from the last three events I’ve been at. Across 144 qualification matches, there have been 13 DQs (as far as I know, all of which were SG3 violations), or about 9% Across 39 elimination matches, there have been …

[image] AlecMiller: I have no data how often the lesser penalty has been instituted, but the fact that this many matches involve a DQ is quite frankly ridiculous. I don’t either, but at a tournament I refereed yesterday, roughly half the matches involved penalties, and at least a dozen matche…

I agree that SG3 remains fraught – it is difficult to referee and unintuitive for the audience. The high level of protection the rule provides to platform interactions often seems unfair. That said, GDC has stated that is the intent of the rule. They want teams to play offence in their own home …

[image] Is <SG3> still too harsh? VRC > Tipping Point (21/22) [All edits are minor grammatical corrections] Hello, another SG3 post. A new topic This years rules have more grey area than a fresh box of anti-static tiles was created about grey zone in interpretation, this…

Ive seen this a good bit at events I helped with and at comps I have gone too complaints about people not reading the manual aside platform and SG3 violations are the most likely to be seen

SG3 is not a problem if competitors practice their driving and just avoid the opposing alliance platform. The rule is clear: Do not touch or interfere with you opponents platform in the last 30 secs. In my opinion, teams cannot complain about this rule anymore. It is cut and dry. If you don’t want t…
