And then they would have that component for the remainder of their matches if they wanted to, which if it was a helpful component, I certainly would. I mean, not that that's a bad thing, gracious professionalism is important, but their seem to be a lot of catches to this "cheesecaking"...

More often than not cheesecaking happens for eliminations, where a team would get inspected with the new component during lunch break and keep it for the rest of the day. I know 1114 even let their partners 1547 keep the ramp they gave them for the rest of the season.
