I, for one, would be heavily in favor of it. My league has a potential tactical situation (that won't involve my team) whereby two teams fighting for fourth have at least some incentive to surrender an intentional walkover in one of their final games and thus improve their PD relative to the other team if he doesn't intentionally WO the game against the top team in our table. Now, as to whether or not it's a foregone conclusion that both teams would lose by more than 25, or a variety of other factors, it's a shame that such an option is even tactically viable on a moderate-to-high competitive level (yes, USA III isn't the NBBA or the worlds, but I think it emphasizes the nature of the problem that even in mid-level leagues the intentional WO may be a viable option under certain circumstances).
