What is sandbagging? I've found this term many times in forum posts and I don't know what it is. Please explain to me

that's vicious and crual, why doing this?
and why it's called like this?

Because a person is bagging to sand an account to get rating
WassimBerbar i will give you an example of why someone might do this
a cash prize tournament of chess , the player with a false grade enters as a novice grade , in the early rounds they get paired with weaker players and progress towards the prize , it gets tougher the closer they get but they did get a very unfair start
this is cheating , and if picked up on is rightly punished

online their are those who increase their grades by following the example King Clash mentions , this is for social status and bragging rights , they also but they get found out too , esp if there chess isnt as good as they make out
