If me and you were stong titled players, or masters. And, we saw a tournament full of weak players, and say the pot was 150,000$, we could agree on a draw. You know, we go whoop up on em, and then split the pot. This is normal activity.
Mutually agreed draws should be done away with in chess

A friend and I did that this past summer. We were tied for first, played 10 moves, drew, and split the cache. Was it morally right? Probably not, but its a game.
Bit like football then.
