Re: [FF]: 2017 Fantasy FIRST Proposed Rule Changes
So I would like to propose a change to how districts are scored to make their scoring more in line with how the individual regional drafts work. I feel the cultural change awards (the ones you can only win once) should not count towards the points for an event but as a flat bonus point added to the teams average. Basically I feel when looking at how the original scoring system was developed, back when every event was drafted, that the Chairmans Awards high point value was done not only because it is the highest honor in FIRST but also to make the "chairmans teams" for lack of a better term competitive drafting prospects and with the districts averaging points they no longer are.
Basically what I am saying is lets say I know there is a solid team from Florida about to make the leap to being a Chairmans contender so I draft them as my last pick in both Orlando (Week 2) and South Florida (Week 5). My bet paid off and they win the award at Orlando, so I swap them out of South Florida and I have gained a Solid 42 points from that bet with no repercussions. Now if the same was applied to a district you only gain 21 points from the investment, or in the case of some teams 14, and in 2014 I know a team who would have only got 10.5.
I feel that it is sad from both a game play and a FIRST cultural level that our highest honors can result in the such low point production and having them be flat bonuses not counting for an individual event score would solve this.
