Re: Ranking

I would be a fan of the new ranking system if the matches were higher-scoring. Here is an example of what happened to us:

We won a match 3-2 and were very happy, this was a fairly good match for us. Then, a robot on our alliance was assessed 5 <G46> penalties and the other team 1, causing us to lose 0-1. This means we get 2 seeding points. The other team gets 1 + 6 = 7 seeding points. This is a huge number of seeding points when the matches are usually won 1 or 2 to 0 (we only have around 8 seeding points total). A win due to exorbitant penalties on a good alliance is not a strategic win, and should not be rewarded like this.
