TW matchmaking
The last I saw on this, CG never acknowledged it's an issue. They didn't think there was an advantage to only joining with 40 players. After getting heavily sandbagged three TW in a row, I thought I'd...

Funny that you call them very competitive, but they dont seem to be, since they have members who are not competitive enough to play TW.
I'm glad you asked. In this case, a guild member shares a shard chat with one of them. He asked him, "Dude what's up with the sandbagging?" His reply was, "We don't usually go in short. We just had some players change guilds."
That was contradicted by the fact that their guild was full at the time of player lock. And when I searched their name in the DSR bot and every single result showed them going in with 40 players.
One other point for consideration is they have a well known rivalry with another guild and lost repeatedly and very publicly to that guild every time they were matched. And they were matched often because not many guilds have that kind of GP.
All of which leads me to conclude their motivation is to manipulate matchmaking get an easier opponent and save face.
