Re: Are we reading this accurately?
Does anyone else feel this whole seeding points/coopertition bonus thing would have been a whole lot easier to understand if they hadn't tried to give a special name for the bonus? A simple "Winner gets their own score plus 2X the loser's score" and "Loser gets the Winner's score" would have caused far less confusion. (Yes, I know penalties complicate it some, but you get the idea) Coming up with special names for things always leads to trouble - remember all the "Where do I buy REGOLITH?" threads last year?
