We've seen three games with clauses allowing point changes before Championships but no changes so far. I wonder what circumstances would prompt FIRST to change the point values?

In 2012 and 2013, the end games were subject to point adjustments. When would you want to alter those values? If the tele-op scoring was higher than expected and endgame wasn't providing enough of a dramatic swing? If teleop scores were lower than expected and endgame was dominating all of the scores? If endgame was harder than expected and you want to increase its value? If endgame was easier than expected and you want to reduce its value?

In any of those cases, I think the teams that made the right predictions about the way that game will play out have earned the privilege of showing up to champs to play a game that favors their chosen strategies.

I just can't think of a scenario when it would make a lot of sense to change the point values before worlds. I think it would be a good idea to drop that clause out of the 2015 rules.
