No, it definitely isn't, and I also mentioned this in my earlier post. It seems to me that this year's scoring system can cause a few problems. Although it involves more calculation on the offense's part (in any qualifying match), it can also rasie an interesting avenue for some teams to take for when they feel that they 'just can't make it.' Although Dean mentioned that DQ-ing yourself will result in a 3x opposing score, they can't prove this as cheating.

Again, I don't like this new scoring ;-)

: P.S. Yes I know that the offensive alliance will have trouble deciding if the defensive alliance is 'playing possum' and Yes I also know that the temptation for the defensive team to change their mind and tip the scales at the last minute will also be very great.

: But, for the moment, let's assume that these are honorable cheaters in that they would not dream of using such deceptions for their own gain.

: The question at hand is a larger one: Is it within the spirit of the competition to maximize your Qualifying Points in ways that are not against the rules but do not involve trying to win.
