I do agree that people that cheat are loathsome. But I disagree with the sentiment. - "I've always felt you should focus on your own results rather than worry about someone elses." Chess tournaments are a competition and the results of your fellow competitors do matter. And I find the idea that the high rated players in a particular club, who are friends, can throw each other points to manipulate the money results and that I'm supposed to just mind my own business repugnant.

Here are the relevant rules:

14B6. Premature or Prearranged draws. It is unethical and unsporting to agree to a draw before a serious contest has begun. The same is true of all arrangements to prearrange game results. In case of clear violations of the moral principles of the game, penalties should be imposed at the director's discretion. See also 20L. Manipulating results.

20L. Manipulating Results. Collusion to fix or throw games, whether before or during the game, in order to manipulate prize money, title norms, ratings, or for any other purpose is illegal and may result in severe sanctions, including revocation of USCF membership. Such agreements include arrangements to split prize money no matter what the result of the game. See also Chapter 6, USCF Code of Ethics.
