Really, that is your example? You think somehow this is the same as the new rule?

I guess people are farther away than I thought.


sorry, but I dont understand what you are talking about - what example?

How about playing with the intention of losing your League V relegation games? Does anybody do that? And if you do it, do you get a better shot at the Draft?

You can do it if you want to be placed in another group in V if yours is a strong one, because you´ll be demoted and you´ll probably be promoted again by a bot team. But it doesn´t change your draft pick position which is the 4th position.
Best regards.

With the new rule that teams dont have to pay salaries if they have no competitive game, fifth place has just become much more interesting than place 4 and the income you get from 1 playoff game (in most leagues I know the no1 seed crushes the no4)

I don't know if this was the best idea to "upgrade" the 5th place.


Sorry for dumping, but it would be nice to see some results of this bad suggestion that came as a new change;

http://www.buzzerbeater.com/league/205/overview.aspx

A team of my conference(C3POS) giving up a game to finish on the fifth place. The other fifth of the conference did the same, he gave up the important matchs against the fourth. If you scout more leagues i'm sure there are a lot of cases like this one.

http://www.buzzerbeater.com/league/191/overview.aspx

From the spanish Div 1.

The team airsjordans that was on the 3rd position is losing just to try to finish as fifth too. Last match of the season is against Vargas(the fith).

What happens if both teams make a W.O. just to try to finish 5th? Pathetic situations.

Is that what BB's wanted? This change is encouraging the teams to lose, not to win lol
