we really need last years scores...please...anyone...shouldn't FIRST have them somewhere...even if its a computer stored
back somewhere that they have forgotten about...b/c with those...we could take the average after 2-3 rounds and just see
what happened...run a simulation under that scoring system or whatever...

but if you think about it...after say 100 matches...a score over or under the average by 100 pts would affect teh average a
full point...at 200 matches...half a point... (approx)...i don't think there would be a problem with computing running averages
as long as all teams understood what it meant and it was fully explained to everyone...b/c i can see some teams getting
very confused...and also...FIRST couldn't have their scoring system crash in the middle of the last round (or whenever that
was late inte h competition)...b/c the score is a lot more important than...well did this team that was ranked 14th win
they're match...waht did they get...how bout the teams around them...but anyway...i think doing a running average has
potential...
