For some reason I want to say "Fungibility of Game Rules" rules !

Of course we are playing against (or with) the game rules. But to what end ?

It seems that teams are going to adapt their behavior to give them the best competitive advantage, they are going to game the game rules.

Game theoretic becomes fungible.

We still have a team on team competition. We just can't explain it to the general public. And then we wonder why we get funny looks !

IMHO, I think the coopertition should be up to the starting bell and the match play a traditional competition.

That is a super easy story to sell to the public. GP, good sportsmanship, all the rest. Anything else is just too difficult.

And I'm perfectly happy helping teams beat us up on the field in the simplified model of GP and coopertition.
