Re: Thoughts on CoOpertition

Even if you disagreed with the removal of win-loss, you do have to admit top performing robots are much more likely to seed. Loosely looking over some events, the only outliers are top robots that weren't reliable in many matches, which explains why they were seeded lower.

I think the way to improve it for both the winners and losers is to give the losers their score. This more or less turns the ranking system into a function of your average score plus a bonus (of a constant plus the losers) if you win. I like that, you get rewarded for high score, regardless of win/loss, and you get rewarded for wins, regardless of score.
