IRI - Dates, Info and Rule Ideas

[Zebra_Fact_Man]

As a person that enjoys watching both offensive throw-downs and defensive struggles, I am adamantly against any system that instinctively punishes defensive play. A team should not be punished for figuring out a new way to defeat the opposing alliance.

That is the main flaw with any system that adheres to match points to assign ranking points; it inherently favors one style of gameplay over the other, which is an unfair bias. In reality, a 76-75 match is just as exciting as a 12-11 match, but one is favored over the other in a score-based ranking system.

This is my primary complaint with the mentioned system. The Coop bridge does not have this problem because it is independent of the score outcome i.e. independent of the gameplay style.
