We all know that 1114 being the number one seed benefited no one except 1114, 469, and 2041 in the end. Wouldn't it make perfect strategic sense to break it up before it even happened by sabotaging 1114 in each of its following matches? Would this be considered Gracious Professionalism? After all, it is "playing the game", "competing in the overall competition".

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that people on these boards and in the FIRST community would not be happy with that strategy. 1114 would certainly not be happy with that strategy. It makes the game boring, and it is unfair to the teams who actually WANT to play the game. Reminds me alot of 6v0...

This is throwing matches to bring down an opponent regardless of alliance. 6v0 is working for the good of everyone on your alliance and doesn't hurt the other side all that much either. They're worlds apart in my head.
