What if your at a regional with two 'powerhouse' robots that are clearly better than all the other teams at your regional. Last match on Saturday, your playing one of the powerhouse teams, who is 2nd place and 3 points behind a rookie team box bot in 1st place. It's in your best interest that the rookie team seeds 1st and breaks up the ultimate alliance of the two powerhouse teams. Thus, similar to the 6v0 strategy in 2010, I would not go for the cooperation bridge to give myself the best chance at winning the regional. If I were the powerhouse team, I would be upset, but would understand and respect the team's motivation and would not put them on a blacklist.
