In the meantime our alliance team was supposed to balance the red bridge and never did it. The extra 10 points we had demonstrated in 3 other matches would have won that match. Is that how you quantify that you are good at teamwork and executing the agreed upon strategy? I appreciate all your suggestions!
When I am looking at teams for potential alliances, I look solely at the team, not the win-loss-tie record. That's how many great teams do it, so I've adapted it and it works quite well. Most people look only at what you do. I don't care if you lost match 17 34-26, I care how many of those 26 points you scored, by what means, and what YOU did. I don't care what your alliance members did, and for the most part, I don't care what your opponents did (I do care sometimes).

All in all, nobody is going to look down on you for loosing a match, or for something your alliance members screwed up on, and if they do, there are obviously better alliance partners for you than them.
