It's ok. I just remind you that this is not right place to discuss it if you want any change.

legal doesn't mean right.

I'm a firm believer that every team should always try to win and that shouldn't be even a rule.


i think Bb is created around tanking, not in that extreme like here. But you often have the question to sacrifice games, to build up enthusiam, manage your minutes from your stars(especially during the cup) and training your players(especially off position)

The salary floor is a nice punishment. Now that you say it, i'd probably suggest that a team that forfeits should have a $$$ penalty.

How can not showing up be ok?


i also think that the BB should change something about it, but i think it is more urgent to make it fair for the opponent. I prefer the solution, that they play a "bot" for minutes and training instead.

And the punishment for teams could also be harder, but not to hard cause i think most of the forfeits are due faults etc. then purpose.

I agree that it appears that there is no specific rule against it. However, in the Rules of Conduct there is the following sentence. “in the interests of keeping the game fun and fair for all users”

While a claim could be made I suppose that this is a valid “tactic”. I don’t believe that it promotes the game being “fun” for others in the league, and in no way can one claim it promotes fair play. His team did make the playoffs last year with no players on it! Which cost another person a chance at promoting.

While not an issue this year, what would happen in the NBA if the Miami Heat decided to not put players on the court and forfeit games to get a better draft pick, while still getting TV revenue on the backs of other teams? Think Stern would allow it?

I pretty much agree. I am just stating the official view.

Why? If you're competitive why should everyone else be as competitive as you are? In the NBA, it is disrespectful because the the team supporters bought tickets, merchandise etc. On the other hand, this is just a game and no one invested money in your team to see it win games.

He can do whatever he wants to his team, just as long as he doesn't do stuff like create dummy accounts and sell his players at overpriced prices. If you think tanking is a valid strategy then feel free to gut your team and try it out. Personally I'd love it if everyone in my league tanked and forfeited all their games to me.

I know from one team that also likes to tank, but he does the opposite, he enjoys tanking negative numbers and going bankruptcy.

It seems it's just a fashion, managers enjoy tanking positive numbers or negative, if you believe it ofc ;)
