Well, given that formula there isn't a lot to do but maybe team 1 coming up with 'da ge broda gi nai brode' or 'da na ku ge ganai broda gi brode'

That would be team 1 making extra Lojban -> Lojban moves that are not always well defined, so risking messing up. If team 1 sticks with vanilla FOPL -> Lojban without trying any additional fancy Lojban -> Lojban shortcuts, then they can be assured that team 2 will be able to do the Lojban -> FOPL without any trouble.

That's not to say that we don't need to define all the Lojban -> Lojban shortcuts, of course we do, but they are not required in order to be able to express any FOPL in Lojban. They are required to go the other way, and express any Lojban in FOPL
