I gotta say no, but I like the idea. I understand what FIRST is trying to do, to make it so that teams who want to be succesful have to work with their opposing alliances, but it kinda screws things up. Teams that go undefeated can end up being ranked lower than a team that lost half of their matches by getting their opponents scores. So, the concept is good, the implementation is bad. For now, I'd say the win-loss system is better.

Another problem with it is the fans in attendance. A parent may see their child's team to exceptionally well, but be ranked 20th or lower, and have no idea why. Only someone who has actually studied the seeding formula can really get it, and even then it's a little confusing.

So FIRST, you hit the ball, made it all the way to third, but got out before getting home.
