Re: Coopertition award hint?

Great find Tuesday! (May I call you Tuesday? Grim doesn't seem like a nice name to greet people by. :\) While it is something to think about, I also like to stop and admire FIRST's doing this. It's a very interesting score, and can constitute for many things.

Personally, I think the Cooperatition score will be a large range of numbers (ie. 0-200), and then then the game score is subtracted from that. A larger range of Cooperatition scores make it so that low scoring teams with little to no cooperatition don't get it as a consolation, and high scoring good cooperatition teams can't get it either, because their high score lowers their score. This leaves behind the teams that didn't score very high, but followed the rules of FIRST, Gracious Professionalism, and Cooperatition that have an evened out score. Example below:

Team 1 is a low scoring team with a low cooperatition score:
Score: 40/100 Cooperatition score: 50/200
Team 2 is a high scoring team with a high cooperatition score:
Score: 90/100 Cooperatition score: 170/200
Team 3 is a mid scoring team with a high cooperatition score:
Score: 50/100 Cooperatition score: 160/200

Team 1's final score is 10
Team 2's final score is 80
Team 3's final score is 110

Because of this, team 3 who competed admirably and graciously, but did not score well, wins the award.
