Alternate Theory: As far as I know, sandbags started because of top alliances getting matched over and over with other top alliances and stalemating. Now some alliances are presenting solutions to remove stalemates altogether to discourage alliances to use sandbags.
Well, I don't think so. Removing stalemate going is not going to resolve sandbags problem and I think it will have an opposite effect. Suppose a strong alliance under 50 rank meets a strong alliance which is way down on glory points. In a normal scenario, the under 50 rank alliance would be able to stalemate the other strong alliance and save them going down on ranks. In the "no stalemate" scenario, if they lose they will be down on ranks multifold. This will encourage them to use sandbags to get easier alliances to remain on top. Bottom line: The stalemates are not bad for all and should not be banned.
Solution to Sandbags: I don't know if someone already introduced this idea but I'll throw out here anyways. The war matching algorithm should be divided into parts. Suppose if there is a 25x war, the algorithm should divide the players into 5 parts and search for the matching alliance accordingly. For ex: In a 25x war alliance, the level of first 5 players should be matched to the level of first 5 players of the other alliance and likewise the last 5 players should match to last 5 players of other alliance and so on. This will help the search to become complex and the sandbagging alliances will not be able to find many alliances and if they are able to search successfully, with this algorithm they will be always matched with another sandbagging alliance.
