The 'Minor League' of basketball is the CBA.

I think that in that league, standings for playoff spots are awarded not based solely on the score at the end of the game, but on the score at the end of each quarter.

It is something like 1 point for begin ahead a the end of each quarter and 3 points for winning (someone who knows for sure help me out on this).

Anyway, this is an example of a sport where the team that wins the game may not always walk away with the most points toward the playoffs.

What to teams think about something like that for FIRST?

Using this year's game for example, perhaps rather than using the score at the end, points could also be awarded for the position of the puck and/or robots on the puck at 0:30, 1:00, and 1:30. I haven't thought this whole thing through, but perhaps there is something to the idea.
