Re: I disagree

Joe,

Let's imagine that Chief Delphi and The Monsters are an alliance for one match (it could happen). Let's also imagine that our team is losing 30-20 and we are unable to do anything to win (assuming we've tried). I would hope that we would still try to maximize our score for the match.

I guess I can see a great team (say Chief Delphi for instance) being able to justify getting 0 qualification points for a round because when they drop their lowest score, it wouldn't matter whether they drop a 0 or a 20.

However, for their alliance partner, it might make a big difference. If my team already has a 0 (or a 10) because we were partnered with another great team that decided to do the same thing, then to continue doing this would hurt us drastically.

It would be a real shame if the alliance element turned out to work in a way in which you lost points just to spite the winning alliance.
