Well, of course your partners and your other opponents capibilities would need to be taken into account for this (and any) strategy.

I completely understand what you are saying in respect to ranking points (or whatever they are called now) in qualification matches. But, I think there is some merits to playing each match like it is an elimination match to get ready for when the matches really count. At the end of the competition, the team with the gold medals will be those that won matches, not scored the most ranking points. I think you would be foolish to develop your strategy around the notion that little defense will be played because it hurts your seeding. Of course, basing your strategy around elimination match style, and not qualification style, could leave you watching the elimination matches.

But, when in doubt, I always think, "what would an NFL coach do?". And as Herm Edwards said, "You play to win the game".
