'scuse my ignorance, but what's sandbagging?

Sandbagging is when a player loses dozens of games on purpose to lower their rating by x hundred points, usually with the intention of entering lower rated tournaments to secure easy wins.

I once shot a sandbagger just for snoring.

Thats quite understandable and acceptable, I expect the sandbagger you shot was snoring at a level far lower than his/her actual snoring skill.

Well, looks like you've opened your big mouth agian without engaging brain first

As Pigface states

If you'd checked first you would have easily noticed I haven't entered any banded tournaments outside my typical 2000ish rating, and haven't played any league games where I haven't been on the right board (usually 1 or 2), so irrespective of the reasons my rating has fluctuated, it hasn't got anything to do with looking for easy wins.

This is also a bit rich coming from you, especially when you have the following associations

You were caught red-handing last year offering advice to a fellow clan member in a game-in-progress (Tipped King I recall)

You have a record of winning grands and splits matched only by those well-known players erice1, clivestraddle and gauravV

you play for a clan that openly welcomes proven cheaters

I suggest next time you mouth-off you get your facts right
