Total bull****, because if you are tanking you are losing points on purpose, except for the fact that you are giving points just to some teams you decide and your opponents don't know which ones. Not counting it is also a bait, because they see you playing bad formations, and maybe they can also forget to follow the game thinking it will be an easy 10-0 or make their reserves to play, while instead you give'em hell just because you think it's ok.
Not ethical, not fair and you just act like a loose cannon.
