If you use this strategy you decide that the best strategy is not to go after your competition but to work together and share the victory. I don't understand how that isn't gracious professionalism. It may not be pleasing to the spectators but it seems to embody the spirit of FIRST in every way.

In many occasions cooperation is better for everyone than competition: some scenarios

1) Red 50
Blue 10
= Red 70 QP's
= Blue 10 QP's

Red 50
Blue 50
= Red 100 QPs
Blue 100 QPs
in this case both alliances would want to tie

Originally I thought using this idea in every match, after some thinking I now feel thats a bad idea, this should simply be part of the playbook, and since (in my mind anyway) it does not violate the spirit of FIRST, but rather encourages it, I see no reason to enact rules prohibitting this style of play.
