The match ended 5 - 0 with a red card and a yellow card being played. So much for that, I hope some other teams can pull it off!

(If you were at DC, please correct me if I'm wrong! That's how I remember it going...)

well, if it makes you feel better this was pulled off in the last match at the Greater Kansas City Regional. The final score was 14-0 but the winning team got 1 penalty. This got several teams from both alliances moved up in the rankings. I would have considered this i very smart strategy for them.

Just like in sports, throwing the game like this is unacceptable. Don't be concerend about rank....we were in 47th place at the start of day three (GSR 2010) and we move up to 28th in three matches, got picked for an alliance and won GSR! (paired with 1519 and 1073). It is more important to look at the result of scouting than it is for ranking. So scout!!!!!
