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
