If you're really good, you probably aren't in a position to employ that strategy--you're either picking, or due to ranking quirks/carrying partners against double-teams you're about 16th or lower (like 254 at one of their 2012 events--couldn't get coop points to save their lives).

If that were to happen, I would be surprised.
