Re: Play to win

I completely agree that throwing a match is underhanded and dissapointing. I know that sometimes our team has to go up against some teams we absolutely love, but we wouldn't throw a match to help them, and I know they wouldn't throw one either. The important thing is that after the match, even if you've just beat or lost to one of your friends, you're still friends, and you still have your respect for one another and your integrity. All I ask of those who would consider throwing a match is: play fair. Play right. The judges aren't going to reward you for throwing a match to help another team, they're going to reward you for your effort and attitude, whether you win or not.
