Coopertition points for borrowing minibot

[Brandon_L]

doesn't it bump you up in the rankings or something? and you also get the coopertition award?

The rankings this year are based on your qualification score which is detailed in 5.3.3 of The Tournament. It is essentially a win-loss-tie system. You receive 2 qualification points for a win, 0 for a loss, and 1 for a tie.

From there ties in the qualification score are separated using the ranking score which is detailed in section 5.3.4. In a match members of the winning alliance receive ranking points equivalent to the unpenalized score of the losing alliance, and in the case of a loss or a tie the teams receive ranking points equal to the score of their alliance after penalties.

It is essentially a system of determining your relative strength of schedule. One thing to note is that this year it seems that the GDC has gone out of their way in an effort to prevent scoring for your opponent. Therefore, teams will not be able to artificially inflate their strength of schedule.

The coopertition score has no relevance on your seeding.

Feeders may toss logo pieces over the wall. Oppenents' pegs will be a couple yards away. In 2007, tubes were scored from halfway across the field. I see possibilities.

Agreed, shortly after posting I realized the same possibility, though I do believe scoring in such a manner will be rare.

One last question:
what do the coopertition points do? I'm pretty sure last year they somehow affected your rankings. This year I can't find any info on it and it seems the only benefit of sharing a minibot is for the coopertition award?

I had the same question as I poured over the rules for the rankings and searched the Tournament document for the word Coopertition - nothing. Then as I looked at the Awards document I noticed there is a single Coopertition award given to the team with most cooperition points at the end of the event. That seems to be the only result for gaining CP's - other than being a cool team that's helping out of course!

So that's it?

It would be something cool to do but I really thought it helped somehow..
