Cooperation Award and what it means this year..
 

Has anyone else noticed that there is a new award titled "Cooperation Award". It goes to the team that has earned the most cooperation bonus points, see section 9 for more details. Since we don't have section 9, does that mean its part of this year's game?

Search. Search. Search.

BTW it is the Coopertition Award.

They announced the coopertition award a few weeks ago - http://frcdirector.blogspot.com/2009...-and-news.html

Section 9 is titled "The Tournament". In past years, this has included information on matches, scheduling, the ranking system, game play rules (time outs, yellow/red cards, that sort of thing - nothing game-specific).

This seems to indicate that the coopertition bonus points aren't earned as something specific to the game, but something that is more related to the game/tournament structure we use every year. But the short answer to all of this... We won't know how to earn those points until Saturday.

My personal best guess - they're changing the structure of the game somewhat, giving us 3 alliances on the field at any given time, and you'll have opportunities to work together with inter-alliance combinations to achieve some bigger goal than you could do by yourself.
