Is This Not A Viable Strategy?

Because of the ranking system this year, cooperation points are playing a major role. If you go for balancing in the middle bridge all the time, you would get 18 ranking points (depending on the number of seeding matches at your regional), that is almost enough for you to get top 8 seeding at most week 1 regionals without actually winning a single match. If you just go for solely balancing on your bridge to win, you run a chance of getting 0 ranking points, and it is only 10 points for your alliance during that match, most of the teams can easily overscore that even early on the first day.

Well, my mentality is that we do not have much time to practice with teams because we are given our match sheets on the day of qualifications. I can confidently balance solo, I rather not run the risk of trying with another team until I get solid practice with them.
