Tips for Team Promotion to Scouts

In the meantime our alliance team was supposed to balance the red bridge and never did it. The extra 10 points we had demonstrated in 3 other matches would have won that match. Is that how you quantify that you are good at teamwork and executing the agreed upon strategy? I appreciate all your suggestions!

When I am looking at teams for potential alliances, I look solely at the team, not the win-loss-tie record. That's how many great teams do it, so I've adapted it and it works quite well. Most people look only at what you do. I don't care if you lost match 17 34-26, I care how many of those 26 points you scored, by what means, and what YOU did. I don't care what your alliance members did, and for the most part, I don't care what your opponents did (I do care sometimes).

All in all, nobody is going to look down on you for loosing a match, or for something your alliance members screwed up on, and if they do, there are obviously better alliance partners for you than them.
