We could have climbed the alliance bridge for 10 points but elected to go the other route. Should the coopertition points really be 10 points instead of the 5 shown in your database? We still climbed a bridge and balanced?

We are giving 5 bridge points for every 1 coop point. However when you balance on the coop bridge in each match, you get 2 coop points which means you are getting 10 bridge points. If you had gone to the alliance bridge by yourselves or balance with a partner, it is also 10 points extra, so it is the same. If you feel that you want to look at it differently by sorting using more than 5 bridge points for every 1 coop point, you can change the number in cell AF1 to whatever you like.
