Re: Winning a Match vs. Winning Strategically
Coopertition is also about not hurting your opponents to win and wanting to play against them at their best.
Scorched earth can make it so no one is at their best but you. Declines are in there so that you have the option to decide whether it is in your best interest to compete with a team and to decide whether you are fighting fit (as it were) for elims. Scorched earth games this and uses the decline rules to hurt the declining team. Its all about the intent. It isn't measurable or provable to 100%, but it is recognizable. This is why it is covered by something soft like coopertition and not something hard like a rule.
Edit: I recognize that this is my own personal view and is not shared by the vast majority of FIRSTers.
