Re: Do you like the seeding system?
No. The ranking system allows teams who have never attended a match with a robot to be ranked in the top eight (Bayou Regional). It also rewards mediocre play and severely punishes the winning team if they have any penalties... since when did losing get you ranked higher than the winning team?
This completely counter intuitive ranking system is only going to hinder the growth of FIRST. No one wants to join a "competition" where you can do better losing then winning. It gives no insentive to go out and give it your all every match.
At least with the old system of Win-Loss-Tie, you deserved your rank. Now some teams would get lucky schedules and end up ranking higher but that is always going to happen so people need to quit whining.
Go back to the "old" Win-Loss-Tie system, its easier for spectators to understand and rewards those who came to play, not just sit motionless on the field.
