Per the "simple" explanantion of my seeding algorithm:
With first games, it is often easier to stop teams from scoring than to score yourself. FIRST would be rewarding teams for doing the offensive objective. The algorithm rewards CoOp points at 2x the rate of winners points. Thus the algorithm rewards high scoring close matches where teams cooperate instead of driving scores down.

With an average alliance score around 15 points, the algorithm I described would be worth as much as the average win. What it successfully does is it reduces the penalty of an opponent intentionally hurting your rank by not cooperating.
