No, really. If you have to ask this question, then there is a severe disconnect between what you understand about a "game" and a "tournament" and what I do. In a fair, reasonable, normal tournament, each party tries to win each game (that is, each *match*), and can expect their opponents to do the same.

This is what was wrong with 6v0 (which I am glad the GDC clarified), and I can only imagine that the reason the GDC hasn't clarified that throwing games isn't GP is because it's bleedingly freaking obvious.
