You can win 100 to 0
then loose 88 to 87

and even though you only lost by 1 point, and you wont by 100 points, I won't advance. Chances are that the team that won the first match has the better robots, yet they do not advance. In my opinion this years ruling isn't advancing alot of teams that deserve to be advanced. I like last year's 2 of 3, I watched so many matches last year and not once did I think that the better team didn't advance, and this year I've thought that in probably half the matches I've seen.
i don't necessarily agree, the game is about strategy, if you can win by a smaller margin, maybe that means you planned it. if you lose by a huge margin, maybe it was strategically intelligent. i'm exercising my right not to use the shift key by the way, i'm still in college. plus, i can say for a fact that some robots lose some rounds terribly because they don't have a partner that functions. this doesn't reflect the ability of a bot, and a close, well-played match may be lucky, or it may be strategy. what's wrong with 'your score plus the losers' with no multiplier?
