The CP points allow a team with good balancing ability to get very high seeded; but is that really a good thing?

I understand teams wanting to be in picking positions, but when a high seeded picker is only able to score bridge points, then they really only have one opportunity to pick a strong scoring robot, and often are left with a rather weak alliance. (this isn't always the case obviously, but it's happened, a triple balancing team is definitely an exception here).

That said, the CP bridge is very exciting to watch, and despite my team having tragedy after tragedy surrounding that bridge, when it works right, it is very awesome. There are also a huge number of times I've seen one team save another in a great show of GP.
