Re: Winning a Match vs. Winning Strategically

You might call these alliances "pre-arranged", but if you don't want teams to talk with each other about alliance selections, Situations like Newton in 2006 and Northern Lights this year would not pop up and eliminations in those competitions would be less exciting. Alliance picking strategies win blue banners.

I am also saying that teams do that... I'm not sure where we disagree? All I am saying is that teams talk once they know their fate. 2791 did this at WPI once the top seed was secured. We didn't ask anyone to throw any matches, and never have.
