Ultimate Ascent was my rookie year, so I'm a bit behind on some stuff.

Edit: I know what Coopertition is, but what is it in relation to the game? A bonus of some kind?

Coopertition was an aspect of the game where you had to work with your opponent in order to gain an advantage.

In 2012, There was a bridge used in the qualification rounds that if you balanced on it with a member of the opposing alliance it was worth the same amount of ranking points as winning the match. So a team that went 10-0 but never balanced could theoretically be ranked the same as a team that went 5-5 but balanced with an opponent in every match.
