Apropos of Nothing...Drones Club Discussion Question

[dogwoodblossom.livejournal.com]

I read a fic recently that had an offhand reference to the Drones Club Darts Tournament. This gist of it was that the Drones are all too stupid to realize that they wouldn't always have ties if they'd play an odd number of games. This is manifestly true, but the fic had Bertie grouped with the rest of the mentally negligible Drones. I know I've read the story about the tournament but I can't really remember it, but I know that the impression that I got from the show was that Bertie was well aware of the problem but that he and his partner were using it to tie on purpose and split the winnings when the other Drones inevitably lost their bets. But I have been known to make up backstory out of whole cloth before, so I'd like to hear other thoughts on the subject. Am I right about the show, and was that implication part of the original story?
