I feel like FIRST will never truly implement a system where your ranking is determined by your performance and your performance alone. Especially when there is such a huge difference between the best and the worst.
At least it's better than the system from 2010. That was an awful system.
People quickly jumped onto the CP train once they figured out what it was. Perhaps if you perform numerical calculation, you'll find the standard deviation in rankings will be high in week 1 regionals, but it will be very low in the later weeks.
I remember performing a slight analysis for the Peachtree Regional and removing the effect of the CP points only caused a slight shuffling between the teams, and really didn't make a huge difference in the top 8.
