Re: Don't count goals scored for the opposition - Yes or No?

The main root cause for us even having this discussion is the fact that the loser gets the winner's score. We would not even be having this conversation if the loser got the loser's penalized score like in the pre-2004 years.

Giving the lose the winner's score has broken the "coopertition" model. It is stupid, but my teams will play the game according to the rules. We will score for the opponent when necessary and lock down our own goals when appropriate.

If 148 or 217 is with 2 incredibly ineffective robots and we are up against a tough alliance, we will have the rookies lock down our goals and we will score like crazy for the other alliance. I do not feel bad about this and will not apologize. These are the rules we are given and we will play within them.
