Faith in Statistics or Play it safe?

This is simply a strategy decision and has nothing to do with the rules. As such, it would make more sense simple placed in the main Rules/Strategy forum.

Correct, this thread should be moved.

To your poorly worder and confusing situation: I say score till the end, always.

he said that there are two spoilers on the rack, but where, why not put the ball in there court, then, let them make a derision, try and stop you from putting on a spoiler, or try to get that last red ringer on.

if the blue team is aggressive, than thats exactly what i would do, im a aggressive type of guy.

Is this the first match of the round? The last?

If it's the last, or even possibly the last with a blue loss, I play for a tie. I'm HUGE on favoring statistics, but even a 1/7 chance of filling that row to end that finals is worth defending, no matter what the cost.

However, if blue alliance is ahead or in the first match of a round which they feel strongly about being able to win, stick with the stats. Even if they make it, you're not out yet, and you can adjust.
