There doesn't seem to be any gain to it. You'll get an artificially low rating so you'll have a streak of wins against people you'd be expected to beat, but then you'll get a higher rating again so you'll be back to where you were before the sandbagging, so what have you achieved?

But if they sandbag in a tournament, they will be banned
