Minor wording changes to Section 9. Nothing major; just a word addition in a few places.
No other changes.
The Update, It Fixes Nothing!
Actually, I wonder what prompted this? Seems to me they did this anyway at BMR?
I’m guessing that it’s just officializing the way things are now.
I don’t know how often teams tie in Seeding Score but if they did it seems that it is reasonable to sort based on cumulative rather than highest coopertition points. Not that I am a fan of coopertition points but if you are going to reward based on them you can make a case that lots of singles are better than 1 grand slam.
I am not going to storm the castle one way or the other.

I definitely agree on cumulative trumping single score. I also wonder how often it will be used. I do think, and am ready for, seeding points to become a much larger focus, especially in MI at the State championships. Since it is possible we will have a couple of game breaker bots, top alliance picks are critical and we will in turn see higher coopertition points but not because of Update 18.
