Re: Ranking Score strategy

My team discussed throwing rocks into our basket also.
An interesting scenario that could happen at the contest would be if
Your alliance is winning by a significant amount that all of the teams on your alliance all of sudden start throwing rocks in their baskets
And they throw too many.
Communication to the other teams is important because if evryone thinks the same thing at once and nobody looks at what their alliance partners are doing
Than an easy win could easily turn around into a loss.
Plus as forementioned there is the risk of unnoticed penalties.
