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.
^My thoughts exactly. Look at 1114 and 2056. These teams have won at least 10 titles (Regionals, Championship Divisions, Invitationals) together. I could see this happening throughout the seeding matches.
