Re: IRI Rule Changes - 2012

Ranking determined by winning. Winning determined by accumulating more points than the opposing alliance. Points scored by balls going thru hoops, plus balancing on bridges, minus penalties.

Coop pts eliminated, and Triple balance added to qualifying matches.

Kinda late, but I think it would have been really fun to have the Coop part be included in the Triple Balance - 2/3 pts to one alliance, and 1/3 to the other. Incentive with very high risk/reward or no reward - for those matches where the alliance probability of having 3 wides is very high, yet not so, if including all 6 robots. Heck, make that score even higher than an regular old normal triple, with 3 bots from the same team.

That also keeps some opportunity for both teams to continue to score baskets until the end. Excitement and fame for all teams, if they want to try the very illusive CTB (Coop Triple Balance).

Wish I was attending, Have fun - I think that is still the objective, regardless of the rules.

Mike
