None of this opponents score stuff, that way both teams would be struggling to get the most possible points, no matter if they had won the previous match or not. It would be possible to overcome the small deficit created in two matches....not the huge one that applies the multiplier.

As I believe has been mentioned in previous discussions this year about this very topic, the fact that the elimination matches are based on EP and not raw scores was not something that FIRST pulled out of the air, but rather at the request of many teams(during the team forums back in August) to develop a game in which the goals(in this case, win by 1 rather than a blowout) were consistant throughout the game, rather than having one goal in qualifying, and then a completely different one in the elimination tournament(as we saw last year)...
