Paulie_D:
Ideally, it seems to me, that you should treat it as an individual game but scoring points as a team.

TightEnd:
Guidance would be great : If that is as simple as no collusion and look to maximise your team"s points that would be great.


Pretty much this

Do I need to look to defeat my own team members? - I assume no - but please confirm. Trickiest area, but No explicit collusion permitted. You might not want to beat them but if a situation demands it, then don"t soft play to avoid it. Points system is such (off to check...) that a winner is better than two nowhere finishes

Do I need to look to defeat the "Scotland A" team? - I assume yes - but please confirm. Yes

If towards the end the MTT the title is between say Wales "A" and Scotland "B" can we target Wales "A" over Scotland "A" ... all we would be trying to do is win the event (is this allowed)? No, target both the same. Scotland "A" should not receive any preferential treatment

On point 3 :

"If towards the end the MTT the title is between say Wales "A" and Scotland "B" can we target Wales "A" over Scotland "A" ... all we would be trying to do is win the event (is this allowed)? No, target both the same. Scotland "A" should not receive any preferential treatment."

If we now change this to Wales "A" and Scotland "B" going for the title ... but we elect to target Wales "A" over say Ireland "A" in order to try to win the competition? If we try to win the competition vs Wales "A" then Ireland "A" in a sense get preferential treatment but it is only becuase of the competition dynamics, it is not that we are trying to favour them or anyone else.

In the orignal example we are seen to favour Scotland "A" but it is just the competition dynamics at work ... surely it is reasonable to look to win the competition.

I don"t want to be in a position where people cry "soft play" when it is actually hard play FTW.

TightEnd:
As long as it is competition dynamics, not soft play towards the other team from your country, fine

In practice, a lot of these things are subjective

p.s Do not tell the other Scottish player your hand if heads up in a key spot!

Honeybadg:
Great work - Scotland "B" FTW!  :)
