We decided to attempt this because at this point we were much too far down in the standings to be an alliance captain or a first round pick, so we figured that showing we are able to triple balance would be the best way to proceed, as people would be looking for a triple balance partner in their second round picks.
It does seem to be a viable strategy for trying to get you noticed, so for a team that isn't close enough to the top eight to need the co-op points, it does make sense to risk getting less points in exchange for the possibility of having a better chance of being picked. I was thinking from the perspective of a team who would want the co-op points no matter what, but it does make sense for these teams situations
