The same sort of thing happens regularly in any sport where any sort of external outcome is dependent on individual games. The best example is any league that relies on final standings to determine the next season's draft order. When the team with the worst record gets to pick first in the following year's draft, it begins to make little sense for teams close to the bottom of the standings to win games at all.
