Match fixing - 승부조작을 영어로?

간단히 Match fixing 이라고 한다. 위키페디아 정의에 따르면, 부분적(또는 완전히) 결과를 정해 놓고 치루는 경기.. 정도로 옮길 수 있겠다. 말 그대로 승부가 이미 정해져 있다는 말. 우리말 조작과는 뉘앙스가 다르다. 그말이 그말이겠지만.





Match fixing


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


In organized sports, match fixing, race fixing or sports fixing occurs as a match is played to a completely or partially pre-determined result, violating the rules of the game and often the law. Where the sporting competition in question is a race then the incident is referred to as race fixing. Games that are deliberately lost are sometimes called thrown games. When a team intentionally loses a game, or does not score as high as it can, to obtain a perceived future competitive advantage (for instance, earning a high draft pick) rather than gamblers being involved, the team is often said to have tanked the game instead of having thrown it. In pool hustling, tanking is known as dumping. In sports where a handicap system exists and is capable of being abused, tanking is known as sandbagging.
