Itamar,

I tend to agree with you on your approach to metagaming, especially 
now that we're beyond the team portion of the tournament.  I guess 
the point of my messages was to suggest that late metagaming in 
these games isn't likely to succeed anyway (at least in the case of 
the examples given).  Late throws in this winner take all format are 
basically inevitable, but I would hope in most cases they are done 
due to in game dynamics, not cross game ones.  (Besides, since the 
final is aptly named, how can one put any more trust in an alliance 
brought about by metagaming than by any other method?)
