Making deals with the alliance partners and opponents is not cheap. Its actually quite smart, because winning is not everthing, your score is. No one cares if you win 5-2 because you get almost no Qp's. Allowing stacks to stand does not affect any part of the match other than the total score, both alliances have a good chance of winning, the stacks merely make the total points higher. (you can win by one box and actually add 8 to your score so it looks inflated). Allowing the stacks to stand is advantagious to both alliances, its better to lose with 150 Qp's then to win with 20........This was not meant to be a war of attrition, but a cooperative event that allows all to succeed. If you think that using the strategy that is almost implied in the rules is cheap then you need to rethink your strategy. I really enjoyed the regional and i congratulate the rookie teams that performed amazingly. I wish you all luck in the future, if you ever need any help, look for team 233.
