You're very right. I didn't realize what I'd done until I posted that message. The thing is, there's a counterexample for everything in life. Sometimes it's a trend, and sometime it's just an exception. What I pointed out was not only an exception last year, but is even more likely to be one this year. In fact, I tossed around the idea of going pure defensive myself, until I realized what it does to those who you play with. Many people will either not have realized this or just plain not care, and that's not the kind of thing you want to worry about when you're out there on the field.

I think a lot of where this problem gets resolved is when you talk to your alliance partner before the match. This is where the whole teamwork deal comes into play. Now, I don't play out there on the field so I don't know how nice and flexible these people tend to be, but can't you work something out with your partner so that you go for the best score possible and they still get to show off a little defensive action? It's all about the strategy, and most people are open to suggestions, right? Or am I totally overestimating some of the people involved with FIRST?
