I completely agree. A win is a win is a win!
I think that in the past they were trying too hard to mix graciousness and competitiveness ON the field, which is a really tough thing to do. When you come out on to the field, you should be ready to play fairly at your highest level.
I think that this rules made a positive switch away from teams forcing themselves to ask, "Do we want to build a robot that will win matches, or get us picked in the finals?"
Doesn't it seem obvious that a robot that competes well consistantly SHOULD get picked for the finals, and be in the top 8?
Just my two cents,
