Playing within the rules

I pretty much agree with Paul. If I were in that situation, I would do the same thing. Why is it considered shameful to do the smart thing? As the saying goes, "I don't make the rules, I just live by them."

I have to comment on what Nate Smith said a few posts above. I agree that FIRST changed the rule in response to everyone's cries of "make the eliminations and the qualifying the same game". The only problems is that I think FIRST missed the point.

I think the point was (at least when I was saying it), is NOT to make the eliminations like the qualifying rounds, but the other way around: make the qualifying rounds be like the eliminations. In other words, forget adding the losing score to your score and all that stuff. Use win/loss record with the tie breaker being the average scoring margin, or something like that. Therefore, in the qualifying rounds, what matters is winning, just like in the elimination rounds.

-Chris
