This raises another interesting question.
Say the field is cut in two or more parts, and you know you're out of 
contention, and your goal is to win money (why not ?), and there is a 
carryover into flight sessions (as is often the case in European tournaments).

So, if you're near the bottom of flight B, you're out for ever. But if 
you're a little bit lower, near the top of flight C, your hopes for a prize 
are high.

Are you allowed to practice dumping in the last deals, in order to maximize 
your chances to catch a prize in the lower flight ?

BTW, my partner achieved this on the last deal of session 3 in Deauville 
two years ago, and we finished 2nd in flight C, but he swears it was 
unintentional.

Best regards,

     Alain.
