I should clarify. I meant, let's say you are on Curie field, have a beef with 1114, and have a faster canburglar than they do. If in every match against them you targeted their cans, but against all other teams you let the cans go free, you would be sandbagging one team in particular by raising every other team's relative scores. This would require you to manipulate the cans based on how well the teams on each side were doing to maximize everyone's scores.

There isn't anything wrong with aiming your canburglar at a particular team, that's just good strategy.
