I like the idea of fighting to the end for lottery balls. The higher you finish out of the 8 the more chance you have. You missed my earlier post. You mean as you desperately fight tank last season to finish as low as possible to have more chaces to win the first pick??? |

5. The most important thing is we have 14 really competitive and competent GMs who agreed it. Thats the key right there; if everyone just released that it is in the best interest of the league that teams don't tank then this wouldn't even be an issue.. I've tried to give teams an incentive to compete, maybe we need to go the other way and punish those that don't. I think anti tanking rules would certainly make other GMs think more - you have to play active players daily or run the risk of having cap penalties. If you tank for a better pick. GMs will then run the risk of having a bunch of trash players to aquire a better pick - then it just leaves them open - Whilst other teams get the better incentives to win. There can be no complaints then. |

We're talking now about this upcoming year. Not last year.
The Commish last year said there were no issues with benching players late in the year. That was the ruling for last year. I played within the rules.
I spent most of the year, 26 changes, my full salary cap trying to get into the 8. Only once it was obvious i couldn't get in i planned for the draft.
Your team was near the bottom for most of the year. Not sure if you are upset over it? But effectively you and saying i should have left the draft picks for you or the other teams that spent most of the year at the bottom? So I get punished for moving myself up through the year.
Just some counter points to you points above.

I know the commish said that, however, it is a matter of fair play, regarding if it is allowed or not. I am not the type of manager who bench players to lose, and I don't like people who do that, even if they play within the rules. You had the right to do that? Yes. And I have the right to say that I don't like managers like you who plays this way.
I was not upset for being near the botton for most of the year. In fact, I expected that situation.
And, it is real funny that the biggest tanker has become now in the biggest defender of a fair anti-tanking policy.

Conycento, you benched your players last year against Thundercats to lose 1-8 which got you lottery position 3 instead of 4.

I am happy to play within the rules of the majority and commissioner ruling. Just putting forward some suggestions before we finalise the rules for the year. All good gents  Didn't you already put these concerns forward last year? |

I don't know the best way to do this, but removing tanking is something I strongly support. I'm also not sure that incentivizing winning is the best way to do this as winning is itself an incentive.
There is one point that I think is missing from this discussion of super teams though. Most of the league was locked into 4 year contracts in our first season, so it is likely that the teams that have proven to be the best in years 1 and 2 are likely to be good again in years 3 and 4 as they continue to benefit from having initially drafted a strong team. But year 5 is going to be like the league started all over.

What about instead of the commissioner policing the daily roster set up by himself. How about the GMs of the opposing teams they face weekly monitor it for him?
For those who are not fused about other teams tanking - they don't have to inform the commissioner. Whereas, GMs who feel strongly about tanking do inform?
This then gives automy to the GMs.
Just a thought?

This may not completely stop tanking - however, it will reduce it somewhat.
I would definitely be monitoring the teams who I come up against for sure.

But year 5 is going to be like the league started all over. I whole heartedly agree with this too. It does make a difference when you draft better, trade better and manage your budget better. If you miss those opportunities your team suffers and that's the way it should be. |
