So if you call it fixing matches go ahead but I don't think it is wrong......first off in FIRST isn't it true that you help each other out....I think it is something called gracious professionalism...... matter on or off the playing field we are helping the other teams out.

Not only has FIRST come right out and publicly said that any "rigging of the game" is not in the spirit of the COMPETITION (see the forums), but any team which benefits from this non-competitive attitude would necessarily have their ranking legitimacy questioned.

Also, if my team were picking alliance partners, we would be looking for a proven track record and/or special features that fit well with our robot and strategy to win. Any match where a team fails to knock over a stack that would have resulted in that alliance winning will have their strategical capability questioned, and may be passed over for this reason alone.

Needless to say, my team will not participate in any rigging of the game, in any way, shape, or form. Do not attempt to legitimize it when speaking to my team, for you will be wasting both your time and ours.
