Hey Florida Coaches, Drivers, Scouts and Strategists, most of you are probably aware of the seeding point rules that favor the losing teams. However many teams at their week 1 regionals found that most teams thought that just winning matches would rank them higher in seeding. There are strategies that work in all teams favor to take advantage of these rules during seeding matches where teams must score in the opponents goals to optimize their own alliances seeding scores. This is confusing and upsetting a lot of teams and I would like to preemptively nip any of that in the bud so there's no confrontations at the regional as to getting everyone to work together (either 6v0 or 3v3). Can we have a discussion about this and see where people stand on this issue? There's only a couple days left to work out whether we are going to:

a) use these rules to our advantage
b) agree to disagree and protest
c) see if we can come up with our own gentlemens agreement for some compromise that we can all live with
d) FIRST will make a change in the rules - which most people don't think will happen.
e) another idea?

Please don't shoot the messenger! I'm just trying to minimize the confusion and strife. I'm aware there are many strategies a team can employ that don't involve working in advance with the opponents but the fact that there are is why I'm posting this.
