Re: Coopertition Award.
A mentor of ours basically summed it up as "You have a good robot and you understand the seeding system." 1986, 71, and 171, the top 3 seeds at North Star, all scored on their opponents at some point in the Qualifications, because they usually were able to sustain 6-8 point leads. And perhaps these are award-worthy characteristics...
Also, at Kickoff they mentioned making the scoring system easily understood by the audience. They did that, but at the same time little of the audience understood the seeding system or, as a result, the strategy of some teams.
If anything, I think it allows the better to put themselves ahead in the seeding by a larger margin. Once a good team gets ahead in a match, they can increase their seeding score even more by scoring on themselves.
