That decision gets me a 40 point advantage of teams that I dont play, less my failure rate of 10%, or

40 x .333 x .9 = 12 pts advantage per team average

Coopertition set gives me

20 x .333 x .9 = 6 pts advantage per team average


Now I look at the other scenario:
- I refuse coopertition pts each match
- I use the extra time to score points for my alliance
- Assume I score 15 pts with that time
- I play against 1/3 of the teams

15 x .333 = 5 pts advantage per team


I realize that these are estimates, but it would seem to me that coopertition maximizes my points.

I am not sure of the validity of any of your estimates, but I agree with your conclusion. The Coopertition bonus is large enough this year that it likely will be advantageous to accomplish it.
