I think what the OP is saying is that you really have two options. You can EITHER gear up to take down the boss quickly (which I just started doing for rank 14), OR you can focus on taking down the normal rounds in 1 turn (which I did with Bahamut for rank 13). The one you choose depends on which rank you're in, and what spirits you have access to.

In general if you're fast, hitting 8 rounds seems to be what's necessary to place in positive points consistently. 7 or 6 usually ends me up in 1st place, and 9 is almost always negative.
