It wasn't a potential flaw in the ranking system, it was a flawed ranking system. It's also Strike 1 on Coopertition in the rankings. (2012 was Strike 3--the bridge was used to destroy some rankings.)
I remember that a little more now. It was a while ago. If I remember correctly, there was something similar in 2009? I wouldn't really know, as that was our (very) "off" year. Anyway, I really did not like the co-op bridge in 2012. I liked the bridges a lot, just not the co-op.
