I find it interesting so many teams are saying that the only way to prosper from this system is to let others score or to score on yourself. Use some of that innovation you all had throughout the year and try to come up with a strategy that works within the limits while not giving away all defense, offense, or a complete match. Sure it will still be different from eliminations, but there are ways to play a real, competitive match while still maximizing your seeding points. Also, I'd say wait a week or two, see how other regionals deal with the issue, and continue the discussion from there. Many things may change about strategy by then which doesn't involve throwing a match.

Also, as far as using this system but changing it for next year -- what do you think the effects would have been if the losing alliance gets 1/2 the winning alliance seeding score? Still uses coopertition I suppose, but seems more geared towards winning each match.
