This is an excellent point. Showing a "final score" on the scoreboard and announcing a "winner" for the crowd, but having the real score and the real winner be something else on the other side of the curtain is at best confusing and at worst disingenuous. Can you imagine watching a sporting event where the score on the scoreboard is not really the actual score, which is something calculated behind the scenes but never shown? The goal this year was for the game to be enjoyable and easy to understand for spectators. If FIRST really believes in the cooperition seeding score system, then let that be the score that is shown on the field and not hidden behind the scenes. Let the crowd see for themselves that the winning team lost and the losing team won.
