I certainly am completely against collusion, as can be seen by my posts in those related threads.

However, I have been watching the Florida regional, and what has been taking place does NOT appear to me to be collusion. These 8 stacks have been built, and have often come down. In the matches where they stay up, it is usually because it is heavily defended from the other team.

Teams realize, strategically, that it is not in their best interest to always destroy what the other teams create. This does not mean collusion is occuring, it is simply strategy, which I believe is fair in the game. If you already know you are going to win, you want to maximize the other team's points. This does not have to be discussed with the other team before the match.

Again, though, I would like to reemphasize I am completely against the practice of collusion.

Edit: Of course, I was not there, and did not see everything that was going on. This is simply an observation, and I want to make sure people are not just jumping to conclusions. At AZ, I witnessed the collusion first hand. I have not seen any first hand observations about this occurring in FL yet.
