Re: Scoring For Your Opponents
Since you asked...

I think that the best possible thing for this years game would be to go back to seeding rounds and a double elimination tournament style of play. Why you ask? Simple it makes things more exciting by a factor of about 10. Think about this year's game (or any recent FIRST game post-2001) what is the most exciting part? The finals. Why? Because teams play each match like it is their last they put more on the line which makes things a lot more exciting. I would love to see a competition use this double elimination tournament style for this years game...hrm now if only I could find an off season competition. O:-) I know that FIRST couldn't go back to this full time because teams rightfully so have grown used to playing 8 matches a regional and I think this was a positive change. If you run into me at a competition someday I will give you my thoughts on "copertition."
