C'mon man, do you really believe it is unsportsmanlike to descore? If you do, then I apologize for being unsportsmanlike; but I just don't see it that way. By the way, your team did it in the semis against us and I thought it was a brilliant move. That move actually kept you in the game for the second match.
Tony doesn't speak for our team, as we definitely use the descoring method in our strategy. In my mind, it's the only smart thing to do. How is it unsportsmanlike to minimize the other team's score? Minimizing your own score if you're going to lose (and therefore lowering the opposite side's EPs by 2x) is no different than knocking down the other side's stacks to minimize their score directly. In fact, if we had done a better job of descoring at the end of our first semifinal match we may have had enough points in the second to overcome the loss in the first.

The way I see it, this strategy must be used to be competitive in the elims. If not you end up needing to make up 100+ points in your second match, which is very hard. Losing a match in elims has an effect on later matches this year - that didn't happen before, and it has to be taken into consideration.
