'''Splitting''' is the act of two players facing off against each other in [[tournament]] making an agreement for one of them to throw the set, to then split their prize money between themselves (or any amount of money being given to the losing player) after the tournament. The reasons for splitting may vary, but a typical reason it is done is when there's a third player in the bracket that one of the players plays poorly against. So to secure a higher placing and a higher payout, the player makes an agreement to split their prize money with another player, who will then throw their set, and face off against the threatening player in the losers bracket to knock them out of the tournament. | '''Splitting''' is the act of two players facing off against each other in [[tournament]] making an agreement for one of them to throw the set, to then split their prize money between themselves (or any amount of money being given to the losing player) after the tournament.
