It seems to me that the "fixers" are setting themselves up for a big fall when they come up against teams that won't play that game. What goes around will inevitably come around. The vets should know better and be the ones setting the good example.
Frankly I personally despise the practice and take it as an underhanded attempt to subvert the rules. There is nothing clever about this. All of the CD posts of "new highest score in the Nation" and all the pride they seem to emanate is tainted by the question on everybody's mind- "was it fixed?"
Likewise the attitude of "it's not against the rules so it is OK" is equally disturbing, especially from certain posters that regularly brag of their gracious professionalism and take a holier than thou attitude about it. It is disappointing to see FIRST ignore the problem. I expected more from them.
This is an ethical issue, not a legal one. How your team plays the game is a measure of your character and a matter of honor. If winning means that much to you, as stated before, I will find you a trophy. Lets play the game as it was meant to be played. Grandma is watching.....
Back to packing.....put the soap box away...
