Because trying your hardest to win every match requires no explanation to mom or sponsor or student.
Because the object of each match is to win.
Because it doesn't leave a bad taste in my mouth.
Because gaming the ranking/alliance selection system puts a negative impact on *someone* (say, the teams that won't rank as high because you decided to throw a match, whether they were in that match or not) that playing to win every time doesn't. (Yes, I know, this means that other other teams won't rank as high... but as long as everyone's playing to win every match, that's okay.)
