G14 Scenario

The other alliance even scored a super cell, and in the end, the final score without penalties was 90-49, nowhere near risking a loss.

From this experience, I think that you should only score on yourselves if you're so far ahead and in danger of getting a x3 G14. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind taking the G14 in qualifications.

Would you have gotten mad if the opposition stopped you from scoring on your third partner? That is more the question of this thread. If they forced the x3 G14 on you, would you get mad or understand it is strategy?

Oh yeah, sorry about being somewhat off topic. I wouldn't be too happy about it I guess. Trying to make the winning team get punished for winning to me is not a strategy I would call if I coached, it just doesn't feel right. Forcing it on the opposing alliance should not be in the strategy book.
