thanks a ton!

Yeah, that equation doesn't tell the whole story since the score isn't allowed to go negative. In that case, you could just assume the BGP was zero, as it wouldn't change the seeding calculations. As it happens though, I don't think that occurred with any of the 43 tweets I couldn't fix, all of which had positive scores. There were some tweets that showed negative goals or a negative penalty, which the FIRST folks suggested was likely a field hardware error that was fixed manually by the refs and scorekeeper.
I believe FIRST will fix the tweets for week two, but the update to FRC Tracker that hit the store a few hours ago will automatically detect tweets that look like they're in the broken format and fix them.
