This was our strategy for our week one competition, however more often than not, one of the alliances was unable/unwilling to complete their part of the coop, and as a result, we never threw our noodles, which ultimately hurt our alliance's Qualification score. I think our alliances threw noodles in less than a handful of matches.

I would caution teams to set a time limit on coop completion, where after a certain time, noodles are thrown regardless. Like it or not, noodle throwing is a huge and important part of this year's game.
