@smurthys But deliberately choosing a weaker team under the guise of rotating players is potentially a way to cause a losing outcome.

I'm not claiming they will do it, I'm exploring ways that it could be done if a team *did* choose to do it.

(a) Rotating players is common;

(b) Rotating players can lead to a weaker team than might be chosen;

(c) Deliberately choosing a weaker team under the guise of rotating players is therefore possible;

(d) If they then happen to lose, they won't be upset, because actually that's more-or-less a desirable outcome.
