Dondon is right. Sandbagging is extremely frowned upon. Example from a brawl tournament here recently: the 4th ranked player in my region got a newcomer in his bracket. The 4th ranked player sandbagged because he knew the guy wasnt so good and he didnt want to discourage him from coming back to tournaments by beating him too badly...the 4th ranked player still won and the noob lost in losers bracket to another person and we havent seen him since. Turns out the noob thought that he wasnt being taken seriously and that it was really disrepectful to see a player sandbag him because he is new. He wanted to see how the pros played and he didnt get to see it (he didnt stay for the finals). I never sandbag against anyone, new, bad, better than me, no chance of winning, w/e...i never sandbag. Oh, which brings up something else...Ragequitting is EXTREMELY frowned upon in competition. Specially if its the "throw the controller" kind of ragequit...
