With the ranking algorithm this year, you are shooting yourself in the foot (ranking wise) by keeping qualification match scores low. W/L records don't matter this year during the qualification rounds!
We encountered a team that told us that as an alliance they would play in the spirit of FIRST and win or lose. My only thoughts were that they wanted to advertise as a defensive robot for eliminations. Oh well, we gave them a chance!
