I think this point structure is pretty darn awesome. This team of respected mentors and volunteers had a very difficult job and clearly had to make some compromises individually to reach consensus as a group. Sure it's not what I would've come up with, but I trust that they did the proper analysis with all of the implications of this point structure. I don't expect it to be perfect in its first year, that would be an unreasonable expectation.

It seems like there is some misunderstanding of the rookie point bonus. Some people have been assuming that the rookie point bonus will apply to each event somehow or be multiplied by the DCMP 3x multiplier. Based on my interpretation it is as follows:

Take all of the other points, ignoring the rookie bonus, throughout the entire season...then add 10. If a rookie team would have earned 90 points without the rookie bonus, they earn 100 points. It's not like those points would be tacked on for 2 districts and then 3x for the DCMP to give 140 points, that is nowhere in the document.
