Re: 2014 MAR Standings

2495 & 2729 are flipped, we have more alliance selection points (tiebreaker) and should be in 55th (as reflected in the official rankings)

I think it is fair that teams can travel and win, I'm not complaining. I think they should be looked up to as an example. Especially the folks over on 11. However, I do not think that at this point in time this rule should be in place. It makes sense when we move more into the district system. But someone was going to win chairmans in HI anyway, what difference does it make who it is? It just takes a slot away from someone else that earned it, and creates less 'earned' spots at CMP
