Remember what rourke said about the SCAM ratings: the name was intentionally chosen to make sure few people take it seriously. These statistics are the same way: helpful in some ways for determining, roughly, what teams did well at regionals, but not a value judgment of your robot or your team. You aren't being punished for anything, and teams aren't being rewarded for anything; it's just a number. Go in and mess with the spreadsheet on the regional specific pages to change the scores, and adjust it until you feel it's right, then use it for your scouting purposes.
