Re: Don't count goals scored for the opposition - Yes or No?

It is easier to just to change Section 9.3.4 and give the losing alliance their penalized score instead of the winners unpenalized score. That would eliminate the 6v0 scenarios there would be less reasons to score in opponents goals.

To implement this change, all you would have to modify is a calculation in the scoring system. To not count balls scored in opponents goals, refs would have to enforce an ambiguous rule (often doesnt turn out well, and puts undue stress on the refs) and mess with the best real time scoring system we have ever had. The automated RTS seems to be working better than ever from what I saw in webcasts (certainly better than the ball counters in '06 or the lap counters in '08).
