Entering every event, the goal is to win every match and secure the top seed. But after you are unable to seed high (typically after your 4th or 5th loss) and you know your likely on the bubble, then I think you should consider strategies that put your team in the best position to get selected. Obviously, you never go against what your alliance partners want to do, especially if they are in the race to seed high. It's a lot like the dynamic of the 6-0 matches in 2010, when teams would intentially lose matches to help them seed high to win the event.
