Mixed feelings

I understand the idea behind the current scoring plan and it does make some sense. I have to admit that I got a kick out of a couple of teams who did last second moves to totally distroy the other alliance only to wind up with zero QP. The qualification process was harder than a "just win it" scoring would be and there is some value to that. It forces people to think about what they are doing more.
On the other hand you can do your plan and have your team and robot do all you ask but if the other alliance does stuff stupid or decides that if they are going to lose than you should get nothing they can hurt you for QP.
