Re: Open Challenge: Make a better FRC ranking algorithm
I have a problem with Steve W's idea.

I don't think QP should be directly related to the opponent's score like that.

Who's fault is it if a powerful team is set up against less powerful opponents?
I don't like the idea having the teams who worked hard to make a strong, competitive robot suffer because of a computer program that randomly generates alliances.

In 2003, I think the QP of the winner = 2x loser's score + winner's score. 166 suffered because of that. I wasn't on the team at that point, but they built a very good robot and would win matches with 90 points or something to 3 points. I think robots who can shut out teams like that deserve to be ranked higher.

That may sound like a biased opinion, but everyone has to have their own biased opinions at some point in their lives.
