Re: Rank vs. blue banner chance

If you thinking about throwing a match, don't. Especially if your alliance partners don't want to lose, then if your trying to throw the match and their trying to win, then they have to compete against 4 robots instead of 3. And plus one of the big points of 2014 was to encourage cooperation between teams. It is just not in the spirit of FIRST to throw a match. Secondly as an alliance captain for elims, and I see that a team threw a match, I don't want them on my alliance because that team is just in it for themselves and not the alliance. Some food for thought.
