if you look at the playoff round scores, i think you will find this is not true.

A quick look at some of the events shows a difference of 5 - 10 points for an alliance making it to the next round or packing up. That is 3 - 5 totes in 2 matches, just being placed on the ramps. Help you partners be able to score just a few totes, and that can make the difference.

Also, if you look at rankings, less than 1 point separates 3 - 4 teams. That can mean alliance captain or not getting picked. That is a difference of just a few totes scored over the course of the event by anyone you were partnered with.

So, unless you are so far above the crowd that you don't need any assistance, it is always in your best interest to help other teams. And if you are so far above the crowd that you don't need the assistance, you are probably helping the other teams anyway, just because it is the right thing to do.
