In games where you have a difference of 7 points, no problem over here, go get like 4 more goals to even it up, or even more if it seems possible that the opponents will not be able to turn the tide somehow from this move. You'd do that do add coopertition points to make sure you will be ranked first in you rank level (if someone else is 2nd place with you, your coopertition points will beat his, therefore you'll be above him in ranking). But if you are about 1-2 in point difference, I'd say forget about it. MAKE SURE YOU WIN, because 2 ranking/seeding points are much more important that 2 coopertition points, as it always was!

As I see it, the coopertition is just a tie-breaker for similar ranks.

Please do correct me, for I am confused of the comments in this topic.

I understand that college, and such can keep you busy, but take 5 minutes and read in the Tournament section 9.3 (especially 9.3.3 - 9.3.5). Ranking points are no longer a part of the game. There is no 2 points for a win. Totally different formula and philosophy. Please do read the manuals for this game!
