I'm NOT condoning purposefully sandbagging a team (or teams) but those 40 points are a big deal.

Techfire 225 in MAR was consistently 20 points or so above the rest of the pack when it came to alliance selection. Where did those 20 points come from? They were the only team that could consistently make an auto stack.

If teams decided to no co-op with the "powerhouses" it would deny them at least 20 points/match (40 if they are stacked).

So teams have to decide....will the 40 points help them more than it will hurt the leaders? Do they take the points for themselves or try and "help the greater good"?

The fun/interesting thing is 1114 is half resigned to some level of sandbagging because they can't co-op for themselves at all. They've already conceded some of those co-op points in exchange for pretty ludicrous stacking ability. Judging by their OPR and rankings, I think that's paying off for them and they won't have to worry overmuch about their ranking slipping without any co-op.

Not to be rude, but could we move this thread to the Championship folder?
That way they are all in one place.

We return you to your regularly scheduled thread

I apologize. Can someone move this please.

From NE Champs, I know Team 88, TJ^2, has a burglar running. We put one together at the competition and had some success. I believe they are working on a more permanent model for St. Louis. I also remember Team 230, Gaelhawks, consistently grabbing cans as well.

Entirely possible, but Newton's really killin' it right now! Super impressive scores! They could really give curie and carson a run for their money.

Alliance 8 is just crazy in the QF's, getting a 235 avg, beating out 148/1114 alliance!

[Robby Unruh]

Anybody know why 148/1114 are only running two bots?

[microbuns]
