The one thing I dislike about the FiM system assigning points based on Alliance Selection is that it gives points for essentially the same thing QF gives points for. The thing I do like is it is a good way to breakdown credit on an alliance.
A proposal I would support would be 8 ranking points for AC1 and First pick, and decreasing from there. This would give 3rd robots 0 extra points compared to the pack, but the difference between the last robot and the first is only 8 rather than 6. Then the NE Eliminations points could be bumped to 10/15/25/35 to make up for the point loss and emphasize results more.
Alliance Points:
8-8-0
7-7-0
6-6-0
5-5-0
4-4-0
3-3-0
2-2-0
1-1-0
Using BAE as an example: (10/15/25/35 + Alliance Points)
43-43-35... W
17-17-10... QF
21-21-15... SF
20-20-15... SF
14-14-10... QF
13-13-10... QF
27-27-25... F
11-11-10... QF
