As a stand scouter and sheet runner, I'm often the one to inform our drive team about the teams in the next match. I usually give them my impression of how the match will go before they even talk to the other teams. Good strategy is essential to winning a match, and if that requires that one team sacrifice its tube scoring/lifting option for defense, then that may be what that team should do. All teams want to have a high rank in the standings, and each team may have to make some sacrifices to obtain a higher rank. Please state honestly what your team can do/has done and cooperate with other teams in strategy. The best-case scenario is not usually what typically happens.
