the way I understand it, teams will be ranked by how many matches they won

and within THOSE ranks, they will be ranked by the game scores they have accumulated.

so if 10 teams win all their matches, those 10 will be ranked by the scores they accumulated - the team that always won by 100 to 0 would be at the bottom of that set

then the teams that only lost one match will be under those, ranked again by their accumulated scores

then the teams that lost 2 matches...

and by accumulated scores, I mean the score the loosing team got in each match

so if you took the trash and burn approach, and always won your matches, but accumulated few scoreing points, it could easily backfire on you - if you lost your last match due to a problem with your bot, or your alliance bot, whatever - you could easily find yourself at the bottom of the second tier - teams who lost one match, and you would be at the bottom - maybe 20th place overall - inthis game there is more than one way that you can hang yourself :^)

I suspect there will be some blocking of the corrals, either from bots just being on the other side of the field, or from porta-goals dragged over there, or 2x balls ending up in the corner - so I dont think they will decide you cant 'intentionally' block the other teams corral, because intention is subjective

you might pull the other teams portagoal next to their corral so they CAN score more points (cause they are not doing well) and then you would be called for blocking?! I dont think so.
