I think of sandbagging as having a team made up of a large proportion of athletes capable of competing at a higher level, not because you have to, but because you are trying to assure a win. A gym that fields a S2 that is made up largely of athletes competing on their S4 or S5 is sandbagging. A small gym that needs to use a few crossovers to have enough athletes to field a S2 isn't. For me, if more than half of your team competes a couple of levels higher, it's sandbagged.
