As a result, this year we got: Bins, ramp, "plastic ice", autonomy AND the elimination round winners decided by QPs rather than 2 wins out of 3 matches.

For those you don't care for the way elimination round winners are decided (I suspect many don't), post accordingly when FIRST asks for input for next year's game.
Thanks for noticing!

Now, would you mind sending a copy of this to everyone that has been sending me death threats because they don't like the elimination scoring (such as this thread), or the stacking scoring, or the alliance structure, or the game strategy, or the ... etc. etc. etc.

As the Chinese say, "be careful what you wish for - you just might get it."

p.s. all those that are so quick to jump on the teams that score well in the qualification rounds, and immediately yell "collusion!" need to recognize that from a distance "collusion" is impossible to differentiate from good, basic strategy. Just because you see something that happens to fit one model of behaviour, don't assume it is the ONLY correct model. Don't assume that you know a team's motivations unless you have actually talked to them and have your facts straight.
