Also, wanted to come back and mention this cuz it's been bothering me.. Not sure why you guys use the term "sandbagging" rather than "exploit," in this case the latter is much more applicable. Just saying..

1 : to make productive use of : UTILIZE
2 : to make use of meanly or unfairly for one's own advantage

...but it's all semantics.

Sandbagging is a more specific term, if that clears things up. In any tournament where there is a matchup system based on a rating, then sandbagging is an exploit of the matchmaking system. Usually such tournaments where sandbagging is an issue will provide a rule to explicitly ban such behavior (e.g. dartslive tournaments). If EA CG thinks it's an issue then they should explicitly ban it, but clearly that will have horrific repercussions.

how do you ban sandbagging? force all members of a guild to participate? even when they maybe inactive because of real life? that's not particularly fair to make guilds carry their load, this game is already bad enough making things feel like a second job, so now people need to be worried about being kicked when they are on vacation, in hospital or phone breaks. atleast not joining doesnt put a burden on the rest of your guild.

what about guilds that arent full?
