if your team is making a plan to give opponents a negative score, you are wasting your time, effort, and money.
There is **NO** advantage to intentionally giving out a negative score. Don't even bother challanging that. Elimination rounds follow the same point system as qualifications Round 1: Red: 30 -- Winner Blue: -15 Red EP: 0 Blue EP: 0 Round 2 Red: 30 -- Winner Blue: -50 Red EP: -70 Blue EP: -50 Guess what? Blue advances. The only way you will have a positive [QP, EP] score is when your base score is more than double the absolute value of your opponents negative. But regardless of your score, your [QP, EP] will be significantly reduced as opposed to winning by 1 or 2 bins. My thought, go ahead and build with the intention of giving negative scores to opponents. That's one less team to worry about for the finals |
