Re: Scoring For Your Opponents
Surprisingly, I've never seen this strategy used on our own alliance before (Lucky?), though we have used it many times. I can see both sides of the argument, though it is beneficial to both teams. I may put a loss in, but with enough ranking points, I will seat higher than others in my win category. Its a very effective qualifying strategy.
*A story about scoring too many points for your opponents: At championships, 2003, 306 decided to get greedy. They scored up both sides as high as possible, intending to pull a win by a couple of points. However, by some cruel hand of fate, somebody miscounted, and though we scored the highest match in our championship division that match, we lost, and somehow by that, we stopped moving on, even with a robot that could've made it all the way. So just remember, play whatever strategy you want, but don't get greedy!
