I vote for last year's (and every other years). To me it looks like the main reason for this season's scoring is to shorten the elimination rounds to 6 matches instead of 9.

The best of 3 tourney actually showed which team had the better robots. This year there is so much luck involved and the doubler changes the score so much that if you don't win the first round it is nearly impossible to come back from it.

Lets face it- isn't it a kick in the pants to battle back from a loss in the second round only to find that the QPs came up short. Kind of anticlimactic to hear the announcer say "hey the blue team won but the red team moves on because of points"

At least let the game be actual points vs actual points so the loser has a reasonable chance to come back.

My opinion
