This is the truth. In 2013 my team's alliance made it to the MSC finals by simply outscoring every other alliance handily. However, once we got there, we lost the first match when the #1 seeded alliance filled the high goal with their full court shooter. We changed our strategy completely to a defensive game, with one robot running cycles and the other two sort of tag-team defending and cycling, and ended up winning. I think in this game we'll get the same thing; an alliance will lose their first match when they can't keep up on the scoreboard, and so for the next match they'll switch to a defensive strategy.
