Re: Coopertition - Not As Easy As It Looks!
Unfortunately this is part of the problem that comes up when a game element like this comes into play.
From the regionals that I have seen/ been to so far i have no noticed any deliberate de-scoring yet i have heard of an incident or so other wheres. So at least its not a major developing problem. I think working to stop anyone on your own alliance from doing well is ungracious and unprofessional. And I completely understand where the other side is coming from with not wanting to lose ranking to another team because of the cooperation bridge. But every team has the same opportunity to balance the bridge as every other team and its where scouting and paying attention to what teams simply balanced on the cooperation bridge for the sake of points vs what teams deserve to be ranked as high as they are, becomes important.
I do however believe that come the Championships that the cooperation bridge will most likely be reduced to 1 point just to eliminate the chance that a team loses the match to ensure getting the equivalent 2QP
