A teammate of mine made the observation that our
game is in many ways analogous to golf. Teams play as
much against the questions (or course) as they do
against one another. To draw an analogy - would anyone
suggest that Tiger Woods bogey a couple of holes on the
back nine to avoid embarassing his competitors? I
don't believe so. Likewise, why should a team "pull in
the reins" after they have established a big lead
against an inferior team? If a team wishes to avoid being
blown out, earlier correct answers (and the prior
preparation to allow their attainment) are all that is
required.
