Lightbulb The other side of the story

Collusion is such a dirty word. It's really a form of teamwork!

REAL WORLD: Even Motorola and Nokia sometimes get together and agree ("collude") what's in the best interest of both companies, even though we're trying to kill each other in market share. There's times when we must help each other for both of us to succeed.

Please, no hate mail, but what's the real issue? Why can't 4 teams agree (in the QP Rounds) to leave stacks alone as long as the rest of the match is a free-4-all? How about capping the SHU to 5?

I like seeing high scores no matter how they happen. The game is more exciting when there are big scores. Ever cheer during a 0-0 baseball game? Not unless one pitcher has a no-hitter going. Is not All-Star NHL game fun to watch as the scores gets to 13-12 score? Sure its all-star and not playoff, but dont tell the players they dont care who wins.

Also, it comes down to desparation. By Saturday, low seeded teams know they often get overlooked as alliance partners. If a captain isn't on a good scouting team he may (and this has happened) just pick the highest remaining seed not picked.

KA-108

Edit: This is my opinion, and not necessarily that of 108's drive team.
