Joe,

I think your scenario would prove uncommon. Trying to garner maximum losing points by a 'passive defense' strategy will not (IMHO) result in seeding the rascals in the top 8/16 teams. Even if half (or more!) of the teams played this strategy, the other half (the teams playing to win) will take the ranked seeds.

Now the Eliminations are a whole different game, and agressive and capable defense may prove to be very important. But the passive defensive teams you are worried about would have shown nothing of their capabilities during Qualifying, so how are the seeded teams supposed to assess their value as defensive partners and choose them for the Eliminations?

I believe that teams without the offensive competance to consistently win by controlling the flow of the game scoring will choose to showcase their defensive competance during Qualifying, in order to be chosen by a seeded team for Eliminations. A team that loses every one of its Qualifying matches 0 to 1 by playing killer defense might prove pretty attractive as a partner in the winner-take-all part of the tournament. Just my $.02. We'll see how the game gets played.

Dodd
