Re: Coopertition award hint?

I'm curious how they are actually defining "Qualification Score." If they define it based on the ranking system last year, that would mean that you would be in a better position if your opponent didn't score as well and your scores are traded. Alternately, it could be defined as raw score, which would make it better for teams that score less. Or it could be an interesting equation like they did in 2010, if I remember correctly, where it was something along the lines of as a winner you get twice the losing alliances score, and the losing alliance gets the their score without a multiplier plus the winning alliances' score (I don't remember, it was something interesting). If we were to judge this on teams who have equivalent coopertition scores, aka teams that fared the same in terms of coopertition, then the first way would favor the high scoring team, the second way would actually favor a low scoring team, and the third way would have to depend on what kind of crazy equation they can come up with. I think they would favor a mid scoring team if multiple teams got the same coopertition score, so I'm curious if they've come up with some crazy equation for the Qualification Score. Gosh, now I'm even more excited for Kick-Off


Just some food for thought. I'm bubbling over now to read those rules, I can't wait for Saturday


edit: whoops, math mistake, got rid of that silly paragraph
