To clarify my argument once again, I dislike the current scoring system because it produces results that are far more random than the results produced by other system. Eight games just are not enough for this to give consistent results. (Speaking scientifically it is too small of a sample.) There are hundreds of little things that can sway the game. However, the team with the best strategy and the robot will consistently score better than a team with the worse robot and strategy.

I'm not sure anyone should address your complaints unless you reccomend a better scoring system.
Most of your issue is with the randomness that results in playing a low number of seeding matches (8). That's not going to change any time soon- there's just not enough time in the day.
