>If you were on the Rebel Tiger team and both of your programs were paired, >wouldn't you do whatever it take to bring the championship home.? Instead of 2nd >or 3rd place. >> >>>Pichard. On many platforms yes I would. Although these people are also jockeying for position, and results. The livelyhood of the commercial business is based on results, and a lower result could reduce profits. I simply could not see Ed resigning a game, just to have Christophe win. I also wouldn't think that Christophe would want to win the title in that fashion. It would be tainted, and no one would claim absolutely that he won the title fair and square. If that action was taken, a dispute would be easy to claim, and the result could be as severe as the entire results being wiped from both programs. I would do that if 2 such participants took such action. On the other hand, if I was in the NHL, and the only way I could see my team winning the Stanley Cup was to take Wayne Gretzky out of the series, people would see my teams enforcer drive Wayne through the boards, and into the 18th row.... hopefully he won't get up, and probably he wouldn't. I just won the Stanley Cup.. but again tainted..
