These pre-match agreements need to end. Aside from the ethics of the situation, there are so many ways for them to go wrong (intentionally or otherwise). In the best case, a team or teams get points they didn't earn. In the worst case, relationships between teams are damaged, and we all begin to lose faith in one another.
