Re: Does 9.3.5 Match Ranking make sense?

The Ranking Points formula has never made a lot of sense to me. I wish someone from FIRST would explain the theory behind it.

Here's the formula that makes the most sense to me:
Ranking Points = (Opponents unpenalized score) - (Your penalties)

This formula awards teams playing against tough opponents. It also penalizes teams who win matches with bad behavior.
