Re: Thoughts on CoOpertition

I liked the seeding system used this year. I don't pretend to know the intent of the GDC. I liked it because it encouraged and rewarded offensive play in the qualification matches. I also liked that the elimination rounds created a different strategy.

I agree with sentiments like "play the game, not the system." I think that the 6 vs 0 strategy, while allowed in the rules, is not in the spirit of gracious professionalism; I owe it to my competitors and my alliance partners to always give my best effort.

I agree that alliances should be awarded seeding points based upon their performance and "quality" wins should be rewarded, too.

I wonder how the following would play out:

Winner gets their score less penalties. Loser gets their score less penalties. Coopertition bonus points are defined as the sum of the scores before penalties. Each alliance gets 50% of the bonus points.
