When a team or alliance pursue a tactic there are consequences that impact the rest of the field. For example, had the 1114 alliance scored just three points in match 100, then 2612 would not have won the Coopertition Award on Curie.
So 2612 could look at it like we took home some hardware because of the 6v0 match
which some would say is like being run out of town on a rail - if it weren't for the honor of it, they'd just as soon pass. 
Or, we could look at it like we won the award because we were in shoot-outs all weekend, and 1114 was in the one situation that could help them seed first. However, we choose to see that it was what it was, which was a whole lot of fun, an honor just to be part of the action, and certainly nothing to get bent out of shape over.
