Part of the attraction of playing in these tournaments I guess.

I guarantee it. They treat it like an 'expenses paid' European holiday.
There is absolutely zero expectation to win on this team.
A lot is made of 'competitive spirit' of athletes but thats total garbage. They want to compete and win, but not all the time, only when they're being pressured to.
I'm not indicting them, most people are like that. I know that in my line of work if that April 30th deadline wasnt a hard one, lots of stuff would slide.
