I can't speak officially, but off the top of my head, someone could do this
on a hypothetical game:

1) Start game
2) Go for super-lucrative scoring that you have to spike early or not at
all (possible example: the billion hurryup on Batman Dark Knight, I think
it's possible in under 5 minutes if you nail all the shots without missing)
3) If you succeed, great! Record your awesome score.
4) If you fail, no problem!  Abandon the game with no penalty.

#2 could also be morphed into "geez, I just had two house balls, better
idle on this game until league start so I can abandon it and not have to
take my crap preplay."

In other words, it's easily abused.  It's essentially equivalent to just
starting a preplay any time and choosing to not take it if you don't like
it.
