As would I (Side note: PLEASE get the alliance correct--you had me thinking that the red alliance somehow got two G11 yellow cards).

The first tip (before the link starts) you could argue either way. The second tip you could possibly argue that red is trying to drive up blue. However, two tips against one alliance in the same match is something that would be highly indicative of a strategy.


Gabe the Other, that's not quite how it works. A Red Card will give you (or your alliance) a result of NOTHING for the match. Should you already be on the wrong end of a 1-0 in the playoffs before the match, you are out. But if you're on the "right" end, it's now 1-1, but you need to be really really careful because you're now carrying a yellow card--any yellow card you get after that will automatically upgrade to a red card, and you could be out.
