So you see that it is NOT about letting your opponent score... or being gracious or anything like that.... it is simply about making the game more exciting to an "American" audience ..

That made TOTAL sense!!!!!

Thank you soo much, Bob! Deffinatly a good correction of the ranking system. BZ to the GDC!

There are tricks onto this system, as I see now, but I don't think they are really worth it. Not if you have a good robot. I haven't went too far into thinknig about it, but as I see it, only teams with bad robots could use a good strategy to gain score by "forcing"their opponents to score less in some way.

I think the best way to get ranked first place is to just play really good and to coopertate with the opposing alliance.
