Re: Ethics of Telling a Team "No"

I have been a strategist for my team in the past, and I know first hand that you can go into the match thinking your team has the best strategy, then you approach your alliance partners with your strategy and then they stubbornly refuse. During Qualification that is there prerogative; however, during eliminations the teams must bow to the alliance captain. if they decide that they don't want to give you a ball during auto, and your only job is to maybe play defense then you do your job and move on. I can also say that there is nothing more frustrating than deciding on a strategy before the match, and then having a team mid way through the match abandoning the strategy and going off on their own. This could not only hurt the alliance, but it could even cause them to lose the match. Like its been said, the only thing that you can do is move on and cross them off your pick lists.
