Elimination points bad for FIRST
Is this what first really wants? In the National finals with everybody (including the media) watching do they want to see two alliances fighting for the ramp then in the last second the alliance that looked like they might get on if they kept trying all the sudden charge back down the ramp and start knocking their own bins out of scoring? I'd like to see Joe try to explain THAT to his Mom. Do they want the 2003 national champions to be the team that lost the last finals match of the season with a zero score?
I know it's probably too late to change but I wish they would consider it. Anybody that thinks that now the eliminations are the same game as seeding is kidding themselves. This year I think the ineffective cure (elimination points) is far worse than the disease (different strategies seeding vs elims).
