As for the implied statement that competition and GP are incompatible, I will tell you what I tell my students before every event: I want to win, but I want to beat my opponent when they are at their best. Not, because they weren't running as well as they should. If there is something we can do to help our opponent out, we should do everything in our power to help them.How else can we find out how good we are or where we need to personally improve?
agree 100% the game is not fun without a little competition, i would be glad to give our opponents help off the field, and to some extent not exploit their weakness in strategy or design. better to win for real than because the other team had something stupid happen.
