i would like to repeat what i said, oh, about three, maybe four times, each in different forums:
NEGATIVE POINTS WOULDN'T OF CHANGED ANYTHING!
you might be saying

what? how can that idiot think negative points wouldn't of changed anything?
weelllll. . . qualifying points = score of winners
plus 2 times score of losers....
if losers score = -15, winners qualifying points = score plus NEGATIVE 30 (i repeat -30).... if you get minus qualifying points, whats the point of giving negative points? so what was the big deal?
