And how would you know you were winning 135-36? It has been demonstrated that the real time scoring is often not even close.

Hypothetical match: RTS shows you winning 135-36, so you score 30 points in your own trailer making the RTS 135-66. Then the real score appears and the final score is 136-135 and you lose. This is not an exaggeration. I witnessed at least one match where the RTS was off by more than 70 points. It was not worth the risk.
