Primes¶
- Braess's Paradox
- Team coordination — removing a high-volume player can improve team performance when the player's presence distorts everyone else's routing of the ball, the same selfish-equilibrium logic at human scale.
This sourceApplies the Braess/price-of-anarchy logic to team sport, showing removing a high-volume player can improve team offensive efficiency.

Skinner models a play where removing a key centre who handles every possession raises efficiency from 0.33 to 0.375, attributing it to short-sighted Nash play.
“This counterintuitive result is completely analogous to Braess’s Para dox in traffic networks: an important component of the network is removed, but the overall efficiency improves.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
