I get where First is coming from but this explains in part why lower alliances are doing really good this year . They ARE good and using the "extra time not wasted on crossing defenses again and again" instead on elimination alliances scoring. Not very fair to #1 and #2 alliances if stronger top 10ish bots are artificially ranked lower. |
You lost 2 RP which sucks. However, you and your alliance partner(s) for that match lost 2 RP for the match which any of you may or may not have contributed to. The good teams are not ranked lower because of scoring issues, but because of the nature of random alliance partners and whether they chose to build a robot that plays for the qualification rounds or the elimination rounds. Many years in Los Angeles, teams ranked quite low would be chosen for alliances because they were built specifically to play the elimination rounds and compliment other team's abilities.
