I believe this can be generalized as poor-sportmanship. No matter what the rules and scoring algorythm is, its always possible to play the rules, instead of playing the game.
In some games it becomes the default, like football teams snapping the ball and taking a knee when they are way ahead, instead of playing the game and trying to score.
Sportmanship is important, no matter how the scores are tallyed.
