When you have alliance doing this to their third pick, I'd say the Platform RC wars are in full effect.

You need platform RCs if an opposing alliance in the playoffs is converting >150 points per match, essentially. MO never needed them but Rock City did, dor instance.

I heard they got behind on the first day, so they were likely just giving out the awards normally given out after matches end on the first day

We have been doing the Woodie Flowers and Dean's List in the morning of Qualifications Day 2, for at least the last 2 years (can't say for sure about previous years). :)

We were indeed a little behind, but it was not related.

Excellent analysis. As you might be able to tell from who's posted here, this is a big concern on our team this year.

We've discussed how Einstein teams might even pursue lower risk strategies that actually limit their scoring.

I presume here that you mean Einstein-bound teams? By the time you get to Einstein, I expect that the remaining alliances will be consistent enough that they'll be going for max points (again) to win two out of three.

Given what happens in the first second of each match, teams may not be going for max points.

Suppose this scenario: your alliance requires all 4 cans off the step in Einstein finals. It is now nearly impossible for them to beat you because not only is their scoring cap lower, you can play a much lower risk match than them to get the same number of points.
