Re: Win-Loss, Average, RP?
I think the FIRST GDC has tried for a long time to figure out a way to make secondary objectives influence ranking, without much success. But in 2016 they finally figured out a good solution that added a lot of strategic depth and value to the game. I particularly like how only one of the two extra RP required full cooperation of the entire alliance, and how the RPs provided extra incentive for correct strategic play in terms of defense crossings. It was very well done, and I hope that if they do "WLT Plus Something Else" in the future they do it like 2016 and not 2012.
Would be really interesting for someone to calculate what the rankings would be with straight WLT, and elimination rules for breach / capture (so extra points added to final score). I think they would be a bit less accurate, as "WLT Plus Something Else" games tend to allow those that prioritize a top seed to seed higher simply by knowing the rules and playing correctly.
