I caught that too.

There are two scenarios here; which one is the actual one can be resolved quickly around the time Q&A opens.

W is winner; L is loser. Points refers to the pre-penalty score.

1) Coopertition bonus is not added to seeding.
W gets Wscore (which is Wpoints-Wpenalties)
L gets Wpoints

L comes out ahead, if not even. Ouch.

2) Coopertition bonus is added to seeding, and tracked separately as well.
W gets Wscore+2*Lpoints
L gets Wpoints

W comes out ahead by quite a bit. Better.

Effectively, ranking points have been eliminated from the equation (despite a reference to them), as has W-L-T. This is quite an interesting method, as it is now theoretically possible for a team with a 0-X-0 record to seed above a team with a 1-(X-1)-0 record. I'm not sure if I like it or not, yet, but it'll still be interesting. (Hopefully, W-L-T will still be tracked.)
