One of the FTA’s or the lead scorer can confirm this, but I believe the max bridge points in qualification matches was 20, the scoring system won’t let you do any more than that. The scores were manually adjusted to add the extra 20 for any triples.
I always like to point out how win-loss record does not matter when it comes to alliance selection, unless you win enough to be picking. Highest seeded team not picked - #13. Lowest seeded team picked - #58. 6 teams with 6-3 record not picked, 7 teams with losing records picked, including all 3 of the winning alliance’s picks.
Teams need to be more concerned with performing well and marketing your abilities than with winning or losing during qualification matches.
That’s funny. After a terrible Friday of qualification matches, we were 2-4 and ranked 50th.
Coming into Saturday morning with 3 matches to play, my only goal was to showcase our scoring abilities and successfully triple balance in those 3 matches, regardless of winning matches.
Of course you have to balance your own needs with those of your partners. If we were all out of Top8 contention, I suggested we all try to highlight our abilities and triple regardless of the score. Only in our last match was 3322 ranked in the Top8. I let them dicated the strategy, since it was important for them to win the match.
We ended up winning all 3 matches…but only triple balancing in one of them, for various reasons.
I guess i didn’t word that too well. What I was trying to say is, if you find yourself 6-3 don’t get too confident, if you find yourself 3-6 don’t count yourself out, and especially don’t overreact if you happen to drop from 20th seed to 30th seed sometime during the weekend after you lose one match or vice versa.
I was also told that it was only possible for them to add those 20 extra points to each team’s tele-op score. If this is true it would explain why your bridge points seem to be low.
Chris and Matt are right. During Qualification rounds FMS can only handle a maximum of 20 Bridge Points because during the regular season that is all that was allowed. Bravo (the scorekeeper) added the 20 points manually if there was a triple balance. There was no way to record these as bridge points so that is why the ranking sheet and the displays at the end of the matches are inaccurate.
1592 tripled twice but 1 was disallowed. Match 57 when we were with 1538, this was the disallowed triple, and match 103 when we were with 340 and 1023.
