This is just my opinion, but if you look at all week 1 standings, the cream of the crop rose to the top at prolly 90% of the regionals because they were able to have competitive matches and yet still score alot.
I think in some situations during quals defense will be needed and some wont need it but most likely if you go out there and do what your team and your robot can do to the best of its and your abilities, the fruits of your labor will show.
I am not against cooperatition between alliances (6v0), but i would rather have a more competitive match, but thats just cause im really competitive lol
