If this is true I'd like to add my two cents to the discussion.

First, I'd have preferred to see the 5/2 awards system in place in FiM and MAR. Although the point difference is kind of splitting hairs, I think it matters when a bid to CMP is on the line.

Secondly, I'd like to see the DCMP count more than a district. Frankly, a 60-80 team DCMP is way harder than a 30 team district and teams should be rewarded as such. I think the best points system for CMP qualification would be your best (or two best) district events and 2 x DCMP.

And lastly, I really like the points system for eliminations, however I have two things I'd like to see:
  1. I think the points should be bumped to 10/15/25/35 because NE does not award points for selection the same way that FiM and MAR do. This rewards teams for making eliminations more than it did before, but not quite as much
  2. I think that the points should also be adjusted to be lower for the third robot on an alliance similarly to how selection points are distributed in FiM. Maybe the first two robots on an alliance get 10/15/25/35 while the third robot gets 5/10/20/30.
