Ranking this year is straight high score. No compensation for opposite alliance score. win/loss ratio is not directly important. IE losing a game with a high score is better than winning a game with a low score. Opposing alliance score not directly important for seeding.

Ranking:
1)Total score
2) auto points
3)climbing climbing points
4) Teleop points
5)random sort

So in terms of ranking a good offense is better than a good defense.

The only real cooperation is it is always better to score lots of points as an alliance rather than as an individual team.

This also means as usual, the strategy for seeding rounds is slightly different than elimination when defense will be more important.
