Re: 9.3.4 Match Seeding Points
This seems like an interesting system to me and I am not sure if I like it yet.
In a situation where the match is close it will always be better to score for your own team to try and win the match thus getting your penalized score and double the losing teams score.
However once the game gets lopsided say 10-0. The losing team, if they believe they cannot win, should attempt to score on the winning team’s goal because those goals will be given to their seeding score. The winning team should also try to score for their opponents because those scores will be worth double in their seeding score.
In the past it has been advantageous for the team that is winning to score for the losing team but never, to my knowledge, has it been better for a losing team to try to make the score differential higher. In past systems the losing team would get their score as their seeding score and would always continue to score for themselves.
