A Taxonomy of Workarounds to an Office Footy-Tipping Competition's Score-Linked Car-Space Perk
A paper from the School of Continuous Improvement develops a five-category taxonomy of workaround tactics in office footy-tipping competitions, finding a substantially higher tactic-coded rate once a competition ties its confidence-weighted leaderboard to a real reward --- a reserved car space --- than in comparison competitions with no attached reward, a gap a retrospective re-scoring ablation traces to the perk's attachment rather than to the scoring formula itself.
