I am going to let my original point stand. I acknowledge the impracticality of materially affecting match averages to game the proposed division system, but posit that the impracticality won't stop some teams from trying. It's a bad motivation that is not needed because numerous other methods to sort divisions are available.

You are free to discuss FIRST's openness in a different thread. That is not the purpose of this thread and I would be remiss if I continued that discussion here.

Must I really repeat myself with a post that you quoted? What point are you trying to make that I haven't already acknowledged?

Edit: I don't mean this to come off too harsh. I would like the discussion to move forward instead of harping on the same point that all participants have acknowledged.
