Where the sporting competition in question is a race then the incident is referred to as race fixing. Games that are deliberately lost are sometimes called thrown games. When a team intentionally loses a game to obtain a perceived future competitive advantage rather than gamblers being involved, the team is often said to have tanked the game instead of having thrown it. In <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hustling" target="_blank">pool hustling</a>, tanking is known as dumping. Thrown games, when motivated by gambling, require contacts (and normally money transfers) between gamblers, players, team officials, and/or referees. These contacts and transfer can sometimes be found, and lead to prosecution, by law or by the sports league(s). In contrast, tanking is internal to the team and very hard to prove. Often, substitutions made by the coach designed to deliberately increase the team's chances of losing (frequently by having one or more key players sit out, often using minimal or phantom injuries as a public excuse for doing this), rather than ordering the players actually on the field to intentionally underperform, were cited as the main factor in cases where tanking has been alleged.     Contents  [hide]<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_fixing#Motivation_and_means" target="_blank">1 Motivation and means</a><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_fixing#Getting_a_better_draft_pick" target="_blank">1.1 Getting a better draft pick</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_fixing#Better_playoff_chances" target="_blank">1.2 Better playoff chances</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_fixing#More_favorable_schedule_next_year" target="_blank">1.3 More favorable schedule next year</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_fixing#Match_fixing_by_referees" target="_blank">1.4 Match fixing by referees</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_fixing#Match_fixing_to_a_draw_or_a_fixed_score" target="_blank">1.5 Match fixing to a draw or a fixed score</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_fixing#Abuse_of_tie-breaking_rules" target="_blank">1.6 Abuse of tie-breaking rules</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_fixing#Individual_performance_in_team_sports" target="_blank">1.7 Individual performance in team sports</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_fixing#Effect_of_non-gambling-motivated_fixing_on_wagering" target="_blank">1.8 Effect of non-gambling-motivated fixing on wagering</a></li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_fixing#History" target="_blank">2 History</a><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_fixing#Japan" target="_blank">2.1 Japan</a></li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_fixing#Match_fixing_and_gambling_today" target="_blank">3 Match fixing and gambling today</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_fixing#Recent_incidents" target="_blank">4 Recent incidents</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_fixing#Outside_of_sports" target="_blank">5 Outside of sports</a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_fixing#References" target="_blank">6 References</a></li> </ul>     //</blockquote>
