There is a very simple solution to this problem. We don't need blacklists, bullying, sabotage, etc.
All that you need to do is not go along with the "cheating" teams.
This stategy requires the co-operation of all 4 teams competing in the match to work (duh). If even one team doesn't agree, then the match will proceed as a normal match would, with everyone getting as many points for their alliance as possible (the traditional way, mind you).
And lets assume that a team does get its opponents to go along, and ends up in seeded first. They will enter the finals and slam headfirst into the brickwall that is reality. If they must depend on their opponents to score highly, then they will be S.O.L., as I don't know of any teams that will be happy to settle for anything but first.
I know that there is a pretty high likely hood that this has already been posted, and that I missed it (123 posts is alotta posts to read at one time), but I figured I'd say it just in case.
good night, and good ridance
