If they had made just nine more points- only 3 shots- they would have won. Triple balancing is obviously a necessity, but devoting as much time as 3711's team did is probably a bad idea. A last minute rush to triple balance, while riskier, is probably the best strategy.
Not to correct my esteemed alumni Sam, but considering out of those three matches one of our partners was totally inactive for 1 1/2 of them ( including the first two hybrid periods) and only partial active for 1/2 of the second which means thier contribution to shooting points is unknown, however, they could shoot. also we had the highest score of the event with 72. So we didn't completely rely on triple balancing, but the alliance was built with triple balancing in mind. ( those 3711 folks are pretty smart)
In response to the treads original question. Everyone should be balancing the coopertition bridge. The fluctuations in rankings when only some alliances do it is a bit disconcerting.
