Re: Worst Scoring System in Years
When I read this thread at first, I thought, "Pfftt... what's this guy thinking? This scoring system rocks!" But hey, at least it was an opinion stated well and asked without intent to harm, IMO. And after reading the sarcastic and rude comments after it, I gave him some positive rep points only to see it drop to gray when I clicked refresh a minute later.
I think this is a good example of people disagreeing and using the reputation system to voice that disagreement. That's not what it's for.
Anyway, to stay on topic... I like the scoring system even though I have yet to go to a regional (Canada in 2 days!). It seems, as Andy Baker pointed out, a system that has been proven in the real world and one which rewards winning over just points. It seems to be a very good move on FIRST's behalf in addition to changing the eliminations to best outta 3, instead of a cumulative points system which promoted descoring over adding to your own score. I guess I'll truly see for myself exactly how good this system is in 2 days.
