In response to "What does this mean, "a dismal compromise that leads inevitably to dead rubbers"? Does that mean games that don't matter in the standings or for going -- (edited)" by Krusty

Got it. It's a meaningless game.

Dead rubber is a term used in sporting parlance to describe a match in a series where the series result has already been decided by earlier matches. The dead rubber match therefore has no effect on the winner and loser of the series, other than the total number of matches won and lost.
