Wow, now that is some frightening logic.  Spirit of the 
game has the same definition (as Neil pointed out) 
regardless of the level of play, practice or competition, 
or place you are playing for.  

Now the fact that some people might forget that in the heat 
of the moment is a different matter altogether, but still 
constitutes a lack of SOTG.

With that said, there is no difference in the top 8 or 
bottom 8.  Good and bad spirit is found on ALL levels, and 
i have found that in so many instances results from 
ignorance of the rules.
