Interesting point. It was interesting to watch the the GTR regional, because certain teams obviously figured out the value of ranking points. I noticed that a few smart teams who while winning big, would intentionally allow their opponents to keep their home row intact. That kind of smart strategy makes me smile.

As for this match, it was actually in the elimination rounds, so Ranking Points were not the biggest concern. But your point is well taken, without the ability to score for your opponents, short of picking up their vision tetras or other tetras that they dropped, the best way to ensure your opponents of a high score is to let them keep a row.
