If you are happy to let the chips fall where they may and just accept what place you land in, then there is no strategy involved. If you would like to try and control your own destiny then different thinking will be required.

It is just simple math (even I can figure it out and I'm just a musician). Yes if you win all of your matches you will probably be near the top. But if you are just winning with low scores you may find yourself watching after lunch on Saturday. The only way to ensure with winning all the matches is to crush your competition.

At Florida 1 seed was 8-2, 2 seed 9-1, 3 seed 7-3, 4 seed 9-1, 5 seed 8-2, 6 seed 8-2, 7 seed 7-3, 8 seed 6-4, 9 seed 7-3. (All before finals)

As you can see from the records from Florida, just winning is not going to work, unless you crush your competition. But remember, when you crush your competition, you are giving them your score (hence the 6 vs 0).
