I wouldn’t say that NA PF doesn’t agree on a strat at all; I would say “at some point in the first week, some strat becomes favored, and then NA PF will cling to that strat tenaciously even if it’s demonstrably flawed and something better comes out week 2.”

(You do, of course, still have a few groups that want to run something a different way.)

But often there are little things no one entirely agrees on, or bothers to put in the PF description. Like soaking the first towers in P5S, the ones scattered semi-randomly around; I’ve seen “go to your clock spot and just take the nearest”, I’ve seen “healers and tanks take the first one clockwise of true north, DPS take first clockwise”, I’ve seen the same in reverse (TH CCW, DPS CW), I’ve seen partners assigned with “take north if there’s one there, otherwise West, otherwise East” and such, and I’ve seen “just YOLO and hope every tower gets soaked.” And that is where stuff can get a bit scuffed.

Then, of course, you have the “I’m always W, I need to be W or I’ll forget what to do!” type scuffles over clock spots…
