As commish I won't allow it on Sunday morning at all. If someone benches Barkley for Jalen Richards I will correct it. If someone has a player who is out I will find a player on their bench to replace that player if possible. I'm hoping this rule change will reduce this to some degree. I know it isn't perfect, but it's better than the current situation where I sit and monitor this and have to make changes (mostly when players are out).
Explain how one is okay and the other screws the league? The opponent benefits the same from both scenarios
If I have an aging veteran that is still producing, I would let the league know that I am interested in moving him for draft picks. After all, it benefits me if everyone knows I want to move a guy rather than just dealing with one owner. At that point, all teams have the opportunity to trade for said player. If I am approached unsolicited for a veteran in this scenario, I may make the trade without offering the player to anybody else. If you are battling for playoff position and are not trying to Improve your team, you can’t be mad if someone else tries to improve their’s.
I think this has already been answered. If a team wants to tank, do it by adding young players and draft picks, not by starting players who are out, on a bye, or starting scrubs for studs. The latter can still be monitored by the commish, but starting players who are out is eliminated. I have no problem with teams adding young players and draft picks because the purpose of draft slot in dynasty is for bad teams to get better.
The condescending tone can be eliminated here and this was directed at someone else.
I have an obligation to the teams still competing to play competitively rather than throw games for self interest. This is my longer leagues 26th season and we haven't had a notable instance of tanking, which is evidence the league is of the same mind set.
Condescending tone? I don't think so. I know you said this was directed at someone else, so don't reply to my post with a condescending tone accusation. I think I've laid out a pretty good argument for potential points.
When the new league site is rolled over teams would have the opportunity to announce if they are tanking for the upcoming season. They would be given a week and this is before the season starts. Then after each week in the regular season, teams have the opportunity to announce they're tanking. The moment teams announce tanking is their draft pick. They would be accepting an automatic loss each week.
I love turkey and dressing. Especially the dressing recipe that was handed down from my step grandmother to my mother to my wife.
I love the "dressing" recipe that was handed down from my step grandmother to my mother to my wife. It is a cornbread dressing.
Ok, I’ve been sitting out this thread assuming you weren’t to be taken seriously, but this is unique enough and intriguing enough to be worth unpacking.
I know I don't have a great team and I'm going to leave my lineup blank every game and get a zero for the year. Halfway through the year 4 or 5 teams will be going this. Fun league.
Great questions and i'm open to different ways to deliver this format, but this is my thought process.
Wouldn't this create more work for the commish? Every time a team ranks you'd have to rebalance the schedule and change it for the rest of the year? Maybe in an all play league as a different league for those of us who wouldn't mind adding a league with a twist.
The schedule remains the exact same....now teams just start nobody. Wins and losses happen as the owners wanted them to in the first place.
The league I run does the same thing. 12 team league 6 in playoffs 6 in draft bowl. Also the lowest scoring team in weeks 10-13 pays $20. These rules have kept teams from checking out when they know they can't win.
Sure it does. It keeps the commish from having to monitor for players OUT and replacing them with someone from their bench.
To be honest, I've never cared about the toilet bowl in the leagues we have it, but I like the idea of awarding the first overall 2nd rd pick. Weighted lotteries are bad in the sense they can reward good to borderline teams with high picks. In dynasty, the most important part of the draft is to improve bad teams.
