Re: Intentionally Losing Matches

This is a competition, and the goal of a competition is to win. however, it is what we do to accomplish that goal that shows the measure of the person.

While the strategy of throwing a match may be successful ... in the long run it may cost far more than you realize. Consider what you are teaching your students, that it is OK to hurt your allies if you can gain a little (possible) advantage for yourself. To me that sounds a bit too Machiavellian for me ... especially in a program that is supposed to be trying to change the culture.
