My team has decided to go with tieing due to concerns about the melted together joint being weak and our inability to identify any benefit to melting it
Teams are melting it because that is the proper method for joining/welding it.

Welded joint is as strong as the cord itself. We pull test every joint, and have never had a failure in competition.

If your team does not want to join it with heat, I suggest using the hollow polycord with connectors or find another belt system to use.
