Re: Is This Not A Viable Strategy?

The way to go depends largely on the score of the match in qualifications. If you can win the match with 10 points from balancing your bridge--or possibly 20 if you have an alliance partner on the bridge with you--but go for coopertition if either side is winning by more than 20 points (and therefore the result cannot be changed by balancing the red and blue bridges). Winning with no coopertition gives you 2 qualification points and the other alliance 0, whereas losing with coopertition would give you 2 points and them 4. So you won't get any more qualification points, but you will be higher ranked because the other teams will be comparatively lower.
