This method sounds pretty nice when it allow the bottom 8 seeds to participate. But as the other two person said, this kind of attract people to do as bad as possible, and in effect those teams will bring down the scores of other teams. Even if FIRST really use this method, at the finals, it is most likely that those bottom 8 seeds will be the "spare" alliance in every match of the finals, well, because the other teams want to do as good as possible. And also, all the practice those bottom 8 seeds were about being the worst. So those robot are going to just be there because they have to, and win the competition without much hard work. I don't really think this is OK.

After all, this is still a competition because FIRST wants every teams out there try their best to be successful. People who work really hard to be a better self should be able to do so and earn their reward in this competition.
