Exactly. If ranking was done as seeding was last year, wins would mean a lot more.
Average QPs can be the tie breaker.
To point out the difference, my team was 4 of 4 last year and we ended up seeding at 6th place. This year we were 6 of 6. Although you'd naturally think that would be even better, we ended up ranking in the mid-30s.
Funny that.
A win-based ranking system would reward both defensive and offensive strategies, and would hold both at similar values as in the finals. It makes too much sence!
Still, this would bring robots that lose a match due to bad luck way down in seeding. In either case, more matches are needed.
My position still stands =)
