Sorry to nitpick Andy, but im afraid your wrong.

7.3.3 Match Qualification Points and Ranking Points

At the completion of each Qualification Match, each team will receive a win, loss or tie depending on the final score. Each team on the winning Alliance will receive two Qualifying Points. Each team on the losing Alliance will receive zero Qualifying Points.

In the event of a tie Match Score, all four teams will receive one Qualifying Point.

All four teams will receive a number of Ranking Points equal to the Match Score of the losing alliance or their alliance score in the case of a tie. A Surrogate team will receive zero qualifying Points and will not

receive any Ranking Points.

So the ranking should look like this:

Rank Team Qp's Rp's

1 A 16 1000

2 B 16 800

3 C 13 1200

4 D 12 2000

5 E 12 1200

The reason why W-L-T can't work is because we have all seen how the number of matches each team gets is usually not equal. Each team ranked first by Qp's and then by Rp's. I'm growing to like the idea.
