Seal clubbing refers to playing at lower tiers and beating the newer players by taking advantage of your experience level which is by and large far better and higher than the new guys. There is no real defined limits of how much down at lower tiers one have to play in order to be considered a sealclubber IMO, so the range might be below Tier 8 for those folks who are used to play Tier Xs and made it their goal, to below Tier V for most folks to even none at all for pro sealclubbers. Not necessarily frowned upon, the game does give you freedom to go down and play at lower Tiers, and it is sometimes a necessity (grinding new lines, grinding for credits, warm-ups after not playing for a while, etc). Definitely frowned upon if your goal is only to bully the lower tier players however.
