Re: New Qualification and seed method.

I generally like this system. They wanted to make coopertition really important, and they have succeeded in doing it in a really fun way.

It is a little unfortunate that teams with good allies (hybrid scorers) get a tiebreaker boost in addition to the wins they are likely to get by having good allies. But I prefer this to basing tiebreakers on opponents' scores, which creates incentives to score on oneself. This way, a team has the ability to directly impact their own tiebreakers by having a good Hybrid mode, which is great.

Teams with tough schedules have the significant benefit of good teams to balance with on the coopertition bridge. It is great that there are seeding benefits for easy OR hard schedules.
