I would have a whole new use for the Root-Locus Plot! I have no idea why I'm excited about that possibility and so what I've been studying a little too much for my last 2 finals (Control Theory and EM Wave Propagation). Hey, this is when I get my best (and usually more insane) ideas.

For years Dean and Woodie made the scoring really complicated with multipliers and time factor... But last year was much simplier than before... Maybe they couldn't resist the urge, and do something like this and make this year's scoring really complicated.
This would force all the students to do algebra every single match. I like it  .
