Re: Is This Not A Viable Strategy?
It is a perfectly valid strategy - I believe that defense and bridges have been consistently undervalued, especially in qualifications. I believe that the average alliance scored ~16 points this week, so if you guys managed to reliably score 10, then you would be in the top half of teams. And if you are very good at both defense and the bridge, you will likely get picked for eliminations.

If you win 7 of your matches - which is possible if you play well - and balance 5 coopertition bridges, you will have a qualification score of 24. The top-ranked team at San Diego, 4161, had a qualifying score of 24. That number will increase, but you definitely have a legitimate strategy.
