		Instead, collusion in each case permitted firms to manipulate the rules under which the independent decisions of the colluding firms were made.
		Finally, the Type I collusion may in some cases involve collusion over dimensions other than price, when the goal of the collusion is nonetheless to mimic the result that a monopolist could obtain in the marketplace.
		Most of the examples of collusion to manipulate the rules of competition have arisen in industries with heterogeneous products, or in industries where it would be extremely difficult for a classic cartel to monitor prices or to detect firms that deviate from agreedupon prices.

	Magic TCG Article - Collusion in Tournament Magic by Michael Thicke
		Collusion can be difficult to understand, because it often involves the combination of two otherwise legal procedures: prize splitting and conceding.
		The result is that the vast majority of collusion goes unpunished, and the small number of cases that are found result in the suspensions of unknown players who probably don't deserve such harsh treatment.
		If collusion is rarely profitable, it will both decrease the frequency of it, and make it easier for judges to monitor situations where there is a risk of impropriety.

	January 14, 2002 - The 1987 Free Agent Market
		Because collusion imposes an artificial constraint on the number of bidders for any given player, the market is not as well equipped to estimate this player's value accurately.
		Inspired, perhaps, by the news that a group of player agents are considering filing a collusion grievance against the owners, a number of readers wrote to ask that I verify my claim by analyzing the collusion year markets of 1986-1988.
		Under the fog of collusion, contemporaneous data on contract terms and dollar figures were difficult to come by, especially in the case of marginal players.

		Magsaysay said one piece of circumstantial evidence that tended to prove collusion was the fact that the Abu Sayyaf bandits were able to escape from the Lamitan hospital despite being surrounded by government troops.

	Auctions & Collusion
		This type of behavior is usually called collusion because it involves a secret agreement between multiple individuals to circumvent the rules for their own gain.
		All auctions are vulnerable to collusion to some degree and only by understanding the possible methods of »rigging» the auction can one hope to beat the unethical bidders and sellers at their own game.
		This type of collusion is difficult to stop in online auctions since all identities are usually kept secret, so if the seller and several of the bidders do have a connection, it is unlikely that anyone else involved would be aware of it.

		If the objective of collusion was to put the IRA etc out of action then this would have been far higher, as killing 42 terrorists was hardly going to significantly harm their respective organisations.
		Yet Nationalist conspiracy theorists who believe in collusion persist in saying the state had her killed, so it is quite obvious they aren't interested in justice but demonising the security forces and the United Kingdom.
		The fact of the matter is that "collusion" did happen within loyalism but it is was done by individuals and not state policy.

		They filed separate collusion charges for each of the three seasons from 1985-87, and won each time.
		The ruling resulted in the voiding of the final years of some players contracts, thus awarding them "second look" free agency status, and levied fines in excess of $280 million dollars on the owners.

		The subcommittee's inquiry, which examined the findings of an earlier investigation by Mr Justice Henry Barron, concluded that "widespread collusion" between British security forces and loyalist paramilitaries lay behind a number of atrocities on both sides of the Border that claimed 18 lives.
		The subcommittee of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice said it was "horrified" that people employed by the British authorities to preserve peace and protect people were "engaged in the creation of violence and the butchering of innocent victims".
		It said it believed that unless the full truth about collusion was established, and unless those involved admitted or were fixed with responsibility, then there could not be closure for the families.

	PokerStat Collusion help screen
		This tool is used to aid the user in detecting collusion by searching the database and searching for situations where two players tend to play differently when together versus alone.
		The collusion tool works by calculating statistics for two players when they are playing at the same table and not in the same hand, versus when they are playing at the same table and in the same hand.
		It compares their statistics in these two situations, and if they are different by a set amount (you can change these settings in the options), it displays a warning message of possible collusion.
