This baffles and quite frankly upsets me. After reading the rules over and over I have come to see that it is more beneficial to just sit still on the field and purposely lose every match in order to be ranked higher. Where is the "spark" to make winning the match worth it now? Why are we rewarding mediocre play and condemning teams who perform well match after match. The GDC should have a serious re-look at this rule as I believe that it is completely backwards. Teams should be rewarded for performing well. The system should be based off of wins and losses, THEN match points, not match points alone.


Here's what I've taken from this. Want to be ranked #1 at the end of quals? Go out every match and fill your opponents goal. Lose by a HUGE margin AND take as many penalties as you can. Guarantee that you get the max seed points. If your opponents can't move, pick a goal and keep filling it. The larger the margin the better, it doesn't matter as long as there is a big deficit. This ranking system is promoting poor play.
