Re: 10 point goal versus 1 point goal

I personally would not want the teams on my alliance taking 5 shots at the 10pt goal.
Well again this can be a matter of probability.
If I have a 80% rate of accuracy and miss, it's worth attempting a second shot rather than giving up 29% bonus points.
If I have a 20% rate of accuracy, I should never go for the high goal
If I have a 50% rate of accuracy, I should only re-try high goal if the time to reattempt is, say, less than 25% of total cycle time (need to setup the equations)
