I am surprised no-one has commented on the lack of seeding bonus based on coopertition. This has been the norm since 2009. Each year, the coopertition value has grown rather than shrunk, and this year, nothing. Could it be the fact that the ccopertition was used as a weapon against powerhouse teams last year? I did see a lot of cooperation last year. Mostly whole regionals cooperating against a few of the top teams at the regional. Perhaps that's why they eliminated it this year.

Thoughts?
