I'm glad my comment got some discussion going on this . After reading through the thread a lot of it makes sense to me and I definitely get where you all are coming from.
Like I said my concern was just that it might be a bit chaotic. Last night for instance we had a NM who tractored the wrong can and flew off to the array. I luckily noticed the mistake and took the correct can to do a drop, but those are some of the risks, albeit minor risks in a non contest situation. I have to agree with Malcom on some of the newer nightmares being very confused, speaking from a relatively new MTAC's perspective. I've blown up my own can once and learned from that mistake, but I've also started tractoring a can only to realize it's the wrong can with no MTAC in it.
Don't get me wrong: I like the fact that all nightmares are now MTAC in TCRC. From a new MTAC's perspective a little structure might go a long way in getting it a bit more streamlined, at least until folks are more comfortable with it, that was what I was trying to get across. I know MTAC is not rocket science, but it's VERY daunting if it's your first time doing it, doubly so during a contest, and even more so when you get bumped and you end up off course from the factory.
