It provides a fairly strong incentive for everyone to help the less able teams to pass inspection early.
That's an old rule.
At Alamo we had a team get their whole Alliance disqualified because a team that didn't pass inspection sent their human player out and he refused to leave the field when he was told to by his partners. We found out afterwards that the student was told by his mentor if he came back to the pit before the match was through he was going to be walking home. Way to to inspire the kids.

Glad to see coopertition go and accurate rankings to (hopefully) arrive.
This really is not in the spirit of First my friends. Winning is very important but it is not everything.

And suddenly this year, there is zero, zip, nada, nothing in the way of seeding by coopertition.
So your complaint is that you can no longer sabotage other teams by sand bagging a match?

Well I'm glad you have an appreciation of poorly thought out awards.

Thanks Ed.

Clearly I've spent too much time over the past several years focusing on the Robot rules and not enough on the Tournament rules.

Wait...WHAT???

Where did you ever here me complain? I simply pointed out that there is no seeding bonus for coopertition this year, when in the past they have made it more important every year. I didn't give a positive or negative opinion of that fact, just pointed it out.

Just for completeness, I was never a fan of using anything for seeding other than the performance of the teams. I believe we are playing a game, and in general, teams that play the game better than others should be rewarded. I LIKE the fact that there is no coopertition bonus, so I wouldn't "complain" about it.

By the way, there is nothing this year to stop you from "sabotaging other teams by sandbagging a match". You could still intentionally lose a match and deny QS points to two other teams, but I can't think of a scenario where that would be acceptable to anyone.
