If a player has already cinched a tournament championship, officials do not like to pit that player against players still competing for prize money. The answer is to match the champion player against the highest-rated player no longer eligible for that tournament's prize money. Players play different when no money is on the line, while some would say it's unfair to pit the hottest player against any one of the other contenders for money. Because David Gibson has the propensity to win tournaments before the final game of a tournament, this process for selecting opponents was termed Gibsonization.
