Two Nil Up or Two Nil Down?

Organisation

A regular 2 goal game, but one team starts with a 2 goal lead. At 2-0 up, do they protect and counter or go for a third? If you are 0-2 down, what is your strategy to get back into the game?

Intention
A simple task constraint to encourage the players to strategize and find a way to either get back into the game or maintain their position.

Observation

There will be lots of social interaction to discuss and implement a strategy to get back in the game or maintain your lead.

Psychologically the teams will need the ability to follow or adapt the strategy depending on the state of the game. This constraint means players are playing under pressure or in the context of a 'real game' immediately.

Progression

Add 'Bias Ref' to assist the team trying to pull back the deficit.
