Re: No-show teams and trailers

Here's an off-the-wall solution....

How about making a queue such as what was seen for practice matches in 2008. If a robot doesn't show up, then the first team in the queue is put in their place. If that team is busy, on the field already, or doesn't want to come for whatever reason, simply put them at the back of the queue. The match couldn't count for the bot that subs in, win or lose The match would count against the team (and only that team) that didn't show up -- i.e. a loss, regardless of whether the alliance won or not. This would keep the alliance from being hurt while also penalizing the team that didn't show up.

The only way to abuse this is to sacrifice your team for the good of another team if the sub is a dominant bot or a friend of your opponents. There are some sketchy scenarios that could be derived from doing this on purpose, so we'd have to rely on good faith (or disallow the top N-ranked robots from sub'ing in) for it to work.

To pull this off, the GDC would have to re-write some code for the scoring/ranking system -- so maybe it's feasible, maybe not.
