I won't argue that teams want to win so they can advance. However, the crux of the problem is not simply losing. It's the fact that many teams have been unfairly and prematurely removed from tournaments. They've had their seasons end due to incorrect rulings, missed scores or botched calls.

I am more than happy with losing if I deserved it. I think we all want our opponents to win, if they truly are better than us. GP means beating your opponent at their best, not winning or losing, because of an error or tragic mistake on someone else's behalf.
