But scoring against yourself is just UNAMERICAN!!!! Yes, i understand you play by the rules you are given but it can still just be wrong. All i can see is if 33 gets some teams to score for them and break -up what ever deals were made. I had to say that last thing to make a point. That is what new teams and outsiders see that don't know 469 and 217. All they see is shenanigans. I sure hope the mc explained what was going on. the webcast sound wasn't working.

217 has had a lot of experience with 1114, makes sense that 1114's UNAMERICAN ways would start rubbing off.
(Ok, seriously, if ANYONE takes offense to this, it is a joke. I agree completely with johnr that scoring against yourself is wrong. I will take it a step further, it is THE most OFFENSIVE thing that you can do to your opponent. Give it your all or don't even show up is my opinion.)

Trust me, I understand the strategic value of it. I am actually a little irked with FIRST for taking, imho, a wonderful game and saddling this ranking system on it.
