My point was that Karthik should not get upset for others 'throwing matches' when his team did as well. Again, the circumstances may have been different, but the action is the same.
Plus, penalties do not affect the other teams seeding scores, as the winner got the losers unpenalized score doubled (plus their own) and the loser got the winners unpenalized score.
Again, my issue is not with any of these teams, they made a strategic decision based only on quantitative values. It's the game that I'm disappointed with, in the fact that it not only allowes this, but encourages it through the Nash Equilibrium (Best outcome vs any strategy played against it).
