Re: Winning a Match vs. Winning Strategically
Interesting ethical dilemma. Worthy of discussion. Given the structure of the competition & other teams on your alliance, playing less than your best is at the very least against GP.

Another (hypothetical) scenario. Say the undefeated #1 seed is on your alliance. Another team comes to you & asks you to lose the match. Say it would make them move up in seeding. Maybe offers you an guaranteed pick to do so. Ethical?
