I retire if there is a decent chance I'll place 8th or worse. I rather lose the Cup points than risk ranking down, especially when I have a deck that can place 1st regularly.

There is a hypothesis that you only rank down after you have depleted the amount of points you gained over the threshold required to rank up to rank 17. However, I am not willing to test that hypothesis :D
