Re: IRI Rule Changes - 2012

Personally, having been on a team that used Co-op Bridges to place well during qualifications, I'm not a big fan of the fact that they are no longer valid. I've always thought that FIRST did a great job this year with Co-op points and integrated coopertition into the game as was never done before. The unpredictability of the seeding was a very exciting aspect of Rebound Rumble, and I believe it was largely due to the coopertition points.

That said, I do see the rationale of wanting more triple balances to occur (hence the rule change to allow it during quals). Yes, I certainly do think allowing triple balance during quals is a great idea. However, I don't think the coopertition points should be discontinued.

Hence, my ideal rule change would be allowing triple balance during quals and still keeping coopertition.
