Every one of our loss matches were relatively close in score. Our team never played defense because we were always asked to play offense by the alliance. I am curious as to why you would say that average contribution score is bs. What other easy way is there to judge a team by there contribution to any alliance they are paired with. I realize that if you play a good match with a team then you are likely to want to chose them. My question is how does a team that can contribute points that the top 10 teams are contributing get chosen for an alliance of teams they have not played with which is very likely in a field of 86.
