To Co-Op or not to Co-Op

[staplemonx]

Hypothetical situation (understand that this year's scoring may not come around again in a while, but if it does....)

You are ranked rather high in the standing and in your next qualifying match one of the teams on the opposing alliance is also ranked rather high. You are strongly favored to win the match giving your team 2 qualifying points. You are asked to co-op balance by this team which would give them 2 qualifying points and your team 4 qualifying points.

Do you co-op or do you not co-op?
How should your team make that decision?
Who on your team should have a say in that decision?

The reason for the question. I would like to create an understanding for how my team deals with this or a similar situation going forward and would like to hear how others would respond.
