I really like how this system grants points for winning one of three QF/SF/F matches. What I dislike is that alliances that are 0-2 in QF don't receive any extra points for making elims. This also doesn't address the issue of all three robots receiving the same number of points. (Although people seem split 50/50 on that) If every team received a base of 5 points for making elims that would help remedy the first problem. I'm open to suggestions on fixing the second one.

I think that FiM was very clear in its decision to grant RCA, EI, and RAS autobids to DCMP. Assigning those awards points deflates their value and prestige. Unfortunately for rookies, it becomes difficult to assign points to the other two awards when RAS garners no points. I could see myself supporting autobid and 5 for RAS and 2 for the other two awards (I think MAR does this.)

I do like the 5/2 robot/non robot awards split in FiM.
