I was wondering how SPing will work in this new game. Lets say you are completely clean on your side of the field, and your opponents aren’t/can’t do anything do send some over to your side, how do you SP to improve qualification ranking?
The first ranking is Win points, then auto points(4 for auto win, 0 for tie/loss) then SPs. There will be a lot of ties in WPs and APs, so SPs still matter a lot. Our plan for SPs is to crush in Auto, then respond to everything that your opponent does. Ex: They throw star over, you throw star back. Just leave some objects on your side for the whole game. You also get 4 points in match for winning auto.
Is the Autonomous Points calculated as (4 for auto win, 0 for tie/loss)
or
Is Autonomous Points the total accumulated points earned in the autonomous period (14 pts for Red, 20 pts for Blue)?
Autonomous Points (AP) – The second basis of ranking teams. Autonomous Points are awarded in
the amount of Autonomous Bonus points earned by an Alliance in a Qualifying Match.
No, the AP is the total amount of points gained by your alliance in auto. As the 4 points won are won AFTER auto is over, they will not count to the total. They would also just make scores unreliable if counted.
I think due to the way тhat the game is scored this year, they added in APs because other wise you get more of a penalty for doing extreamly well. And to encourage more programming.
