Re: Gracious Proffesionalism VS Competition

In this case it means that if your match is in fact a blow out you can not then further your standing by scoring for the opposing team. I think that making this change will result in a more accurate representation of the relative strength of schedule if you beat several good alliances in high scoring, close matches you are rewarded accordingly in your ranking score whereas if you play a few matches against alliances with missing or disabled bots you can't score for the opposing team to artificially inflate your strength of schedule which will also be reflected in your ranking, you still get the two points toward your qualification score for the win but your ranking score will be lower. A team that plays in and wins tough competitive matches will be rewarded for that and this system makes team try o do their best to score even in a losing effort because in a loss your score is reflected in your ranking score as well.
