I'm not sure that it does. You can still be playing at your ability if given defenses that you excel at. Asking your opponents to place obstacles that you designed for doesn't really affect whether or not anyone is "playing at their ability".

You could make a case that if that team does put out defenses you request that they are then playing below their ability. Because defense selection is a part of the game, selecting hard ones might be "playing at your ability".
