My guess is that these points will be unrelated to game play (directly) but maybe given in the pits, or by judges who see teams not running up the score, or something else like that. Maybe it will be related to teams that win high scoring games by both teams. There was some mention of this on the FIRST website in reference to last year, about how coopertition was demonstrated by everyone scoring, and that it was better to win a high scoring game than to keep your opponent to low score (very much paraphrasing). If this is true, then this year's game may have very little defense within it, or they may discourage defense as the primary means of winning. My take on Overdrive was this was intended to be an offense-oriented game. I expect the same this year
