I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

Again, my issue is not with the teams involved, but with the system the promotes this.
They are still two different things completely. 6v0 is completely different than, say, while you are partnered with 1114, your human player purposely hides a scored ball in the corral so that the entire alliance gets a bunch of dogma penalties causing the alliance (and 1114) to score 0.

6v0 to maximize your seeding score (and losing the match) vs. purposely getting penalties to cause your alliance partners to lose and score low are completely different things...
