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.

We too realized this key component of the game at Chesapeake a few weeks ago, and in some matches would allow home rows to be intact and in one or two matches we would actually cap the opposing sides goals in order to increase our ranking points.
