After looking at the regional online as well as reading to messages like this, it seems to me that this kind of rush judgments is made all the time.

So, the problem here is that people are making decision base on the assumption that time multiplier is the most important. But is that really true?

Say we are trying to score a 700, we can do it either by getting 60 base point under 30 seconds, or 70 pts under a minute. And in this case, the one under 1 minute seems better. But that's an extreme, so...

It seems like teams should really look at the trade off between base points and multiplier... and it actually doesn't seems hard to get more points during the finals with the right partners.

So, what does everyone think? Is getting more points easier than what we used to think?
