An example of 'dumping for place' would be where
post 2 scores 2 pts, then 4, 5, 6, and 7 score 1 each, and then
8 is about to run it out. At game point the 8 will serve to the
2, who can automatically place by deliberately losing the point.
It's an unfortunate case where the spectacular scoring system
is weak, because it creates a conflict of interest: win the point
and there's still a good chance you will finish off the board
or only get show, or lose the point and lock up second.
Personally, I would never accuse players of doing this unless
I had collected some data, but there are many here who don't need
no steenkin' data and are absolutely sure that it's happening.
