Psychological Warfare - The Elimination Rounds

I would like to pose a question.

What would be better if you go second in the elimination rounds, to beat the previous score or score lower than your opponent on purpose?

Think about it - you may have to decide.

If you choose to beat the score, then you have to go again right away and the opponent gets to see what score they have to beat to win. If you score lower than them on purpose, it not only makes them go first again and lets you see what you have to beat, but it also makes them wonder how much risk they should take in posting a big score.

In any case, the alliance that goes second controls the sequence of events. This of course matters most if the alliances are evenly matched in scoring capabilities.

Raul
