The Chokehold Strategy

That said, 365 has often said that high QP's are not the goal of their robot. Why do you care how many QP's you get in a match like this? You get the win regardless.

We care because we have to prove our strategy for the elimination rounds. If teams were to consistantly pull out of the endzone resulting in a 0-0, our alliance partner would not likely agree in going for three goals. If this happened enough (MOE not deploying for all three), we would not be able to show teams that we can do it (which we should be able to do after these modifications) and we would therefore not be picked for the finals matches. In sum, we care about QPs because our alliance partner cares about QPs.
