[GGCO]

Here are my thoughts.

First, anyone who agrees with these rules should read "Atlas Shrugged".

Second, I know that my team will have a serious conversation about implementing this strategy.

Third, the scoring system is basically socialism.

Any time a governing body rewards someone who doesn't produce very much the same amount as someone who does, it is considered socialism. While socialism, and the GDC, may have had good intentions...both only encourage cheating and mediocracy. If teams decide to go with this strategy, spectators will be confused, members will be frustrated, and the sport will lose it's credibility.


I believe that even if a team is in last place the FIRST community does a great job of making them feel like winners, and anyways we all know that it's not about winning. Hopefully, in the future, the GDC will have more faith in the teams to uphold the values of FIRST rather than trying to enforce them.
