Re: Level 3 Point Upgrade for Champs?

I think the important thing to note, is that the GDC is not going to just randomly add points to climbing without finding the correct amount of points to add to each rung, if any, that would generate a balance between disc and climb strategies in an event with much more competition.

My fear, however, and one of the main reasons the GDC puts this option into the rule book, is to make sure that all teams have a chance at #1 seed. I would find it a tad suspect if the top 8 in each division didn't include a robot that could climb for 30 every match but did include a sub par shooter.

I think that the climb points are correct and if there was a change to make, it would be so small and strange (like 10, 23, 36) that maybe it wouldn't be worth it to the GDC at all. However I am very open to adding some points.
