I’m seeing one team starting Josh Gordon and an empty slot, with several playable options on the bench. I may be losing every week but at least I’m #5 in points scored.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammymvpknight Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 @Lionized this is going to be your only warning. Tanking is strictly forbidden in this league. If it happens again, you will lose your team and we will take over ownership. I will be making stat adjustments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be a good idea if we started a new thread next year so we can keep all the rules in the first post of the thread allowing us to find them & update it as needed. Show Me Your TD @Sllim Pickens also has a K on a bye in his line-up. but still has time to pick-up Chi K before tonight game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WE-R-Lions Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 As a foot note: I had 10 players either on a Bye, listed as Out, or on IR this week & was still able to fill a full roster. It was ugly.....not sure what I would have done if I had 11 players out??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could drop Irv for a startable TE, but I’ve wrapped up the W and would prefer to hold Irv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a pretty clear difference between not being able to fill out your roster because of injury/byes, and someone purposely putting in inferior (suspended or injured) players over better players. That's where I draw the line. It's a tough year this year with injuries and what not. If someone is trying to win and not just trying to purposely lose to either help an opponent or their next year's draft position, then I think that we can be reasonable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaguarCrazy2832 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I dont remember any teams specifically for this league but I feel like I check almost regularly to see if some squirrely stuff is going on. I was the worst team in the league last year, still dont have a good team but im setting lineups and winning games even though tanking would benefit me greatly. I really hope an anti-tanking protocol is established and upheld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You put a suspended Josh Gordon into your lineup over a healthy and active Michael Pittman. I don’t know if it was an accident or on purpose...but it doesn’t look good. Please ensure it doesn’t happen anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure it was an honest mistake due to covid and IR. Regardless I’m more than happy to receive the W, rather it was by 30 or 40+ points over my opponent.

The point here is a team can still win the match but total Pt's scored for the year are reduced & that could affect the draft slot for the following years draft (if teams have the same record). That's why it's considered tanking, & points are adjusted accordingly. I think it's a good lesson learned by all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll do my best to make sure this doesn’t happen again. I just ask that I not get removed by the league. I am not trying to tank period.
