That's exactly what happened. We were worried 1918 would score more seeding point in their matches than we would, so we were trying to get any many as possible in each match.

The alliance we were playing, switched from playing against us to playing with us during the match. The score was 10-0, when we decided to send 1188 over to score for the other alliance. We then started playing for additional seeding points also. I got too focused on scoring one ball, and told the drivers to chase after it (completely forgetting that 1188 was in there)...

I keep saying we will not focus on seeding points during a match, but it never seems to work. We will no longer worry about scoring for the other alliance, because it usually leads to bad things.
