The first one. The second option is mean! Intentional DOGMA penalties = bad. If 1114 seeds second because your human player intentionally racked up DOGMA penalties, two things will happen:
1. The #1 seed, who is obviously really good, will probably pick 469.
2. 1114, seeded #2, will not pick your team, because you were a bunch of jerks to them.
So you're not going to win the division, either way. I don't see how penalizing yourself in the last qualification match will help you in any way. I know what my team would do in this situation. We would play to the best of our ability, then get ready to play some tough matches in elims.
