Right?
Correct.

I really do not like this new seeding system, especially because co-opertition score directly affects qualification score. While yes, the better teams may communicate better with their opponent, or they might have a way of helping an opponent balance on bridge, a lot of the times, it will simply be luck as to whether or not you play against an opponent that can balance on the bridge, and plans on balancing on the bridge. At the very least, co-opertition could have been a separate score and serve as a tiebreaker.
I also don't understand why how well a team does in roughly 2 minutes of a 2 minute and 15 second match is the fourth tiebreaker.
But that's just me.
Opposition welcomed.
