Re: No Coopertition bonus?

Quote:
Those are ranking points, not qualification points. Similar to 2009, that's just a tie-breaker used after the W/L/T seeding method. You still got 2 QP for a win, even if they scored 0 points. And there were actually coopertition points in 2011 (from sharing minibots), but they were used to determine the coopertition award.
While it is true that the first order sort was by QS, the RS was the second order sort, and many times seeding positions were determined by the second order sort. The point I was making in the original post was that the effect of the coopertition portion of the game became greater over time, culminating in 2012 when coopertition was almost as important as win/loss, and teams could sabotage other teams by denying them those points (a team cannot control its own destiny). And suddenly this year, there is zero, zip, nada, nothing in the way of seeding by coopertition.
