If losing benefits the whole alliance (as we sometimes saw last year) then the alliance can do whatever they chose. But to put your own results before the alliance and sabatoge your partners, that would be unacceptable.
But in this case winning does not benefit the whole alliance nor does losing benefit the whole alliance. You have conflicting goals within the alliance. How do you deal with it?
