That's a ridiculous assumption (and in my mind, completely uncalled for). You're criticizing something none of us know anything about because you think it might be like an unpopular rule from the previous year. You don't even know what Coopertition points are.

I've got to ask you where you've read that the definition of coopertition is "punishing the teams that do well" and "rewarding teams who score for their opponents", because I've heard a bunch of people claim "coopertition is scoring for your opponent!" when that goes against everything I've ever heard the word used for. Scoring on your opponent isn't coopertition at all, it was (in 2009) a move motivated entirely for each team's self interest (not getting a <g14>) and had nothing to do with coopertition.

Note: I've always understood coopertition to be fiercely competing on the field, and assisting and working together off the field, going hand in hand with gracious professionalism. If I'm completely off base, someone correct me please.

Speaking of GP, what is the difference of this and the GP award?

Maybe you should wait to find out what the award is before you very harshly criticize it...
