But BlueJak, you said "aimed at winning the event". That sounds as if a pair who has no chance of winning the event (at table 83 in the last round of a Swiss) is not allowed to psyche. I don't think that's what you intended to say.

If you are at table 83 and you psyche because your view is that it is your best chance of winning the final match and ending on a respectable note or gaining some more master points then I think that is fine. If you psyche because you are bored and want some fun at the expense of the other pair who are also at Table 83 and having a bad day then that is not fine.

It may, of course, not be all that easy to work out the difference.
