hahah yep.. soon as I checked the results, my first thought was that their game was predetermined.
not accusing anyone of anything... oh wait... I totally am


Right down to the erosion of the gap in points difference.

Whats the story?

Is the Cunning one just trying to dodge the relegation games or does he fancy a bit of finals action?

As a result of Sterling Archers accussations of match fixing, the buzzerbeater GMs just might be examing bbmails sent between The Dogg Pound and The Cunning One.

As yet there has been "no comment" from either of the two accussed Managers.

Rumours exist that possible sanctions may include a large fine, loss of premiership points and a loss of draft picks

Don't see why considering mutual ties are acknowledged and arranged all the time.

Statement above from a legal representative of one of the coaccused.

Charges might be HIRD by the BB Commisioners today

Are you referring to coach James Hird?
Or are you insinuating that I look into match fixing?

If its James Hird than ASADA will look into that. If its related to BB, then put in a cheat ticket. Stop giving out double meanings LOL

Is match fixing against the rules?

Look I don't care about this match just gone.
If I win my last 2 games and he loses his last 2 then I get 5th, this is pretty unlikely that he'll lose both of his.
but hey.

as for match fixing. I think as long as it's not ruining the experience of other managers then no harm done really.
like if 2 managers agree to do TIE/TIE then sure ok.
but if it's for example this game between dogpound and coach where its "i'll put out 3 players and play TIE and you can go full strength and CT that way you will not only win and be 2 games clear of Ranga, but you'll also knock off most of the PD" then i dunno that's probably a bit, not in the spirit of the game.

oh, please note, that i'm not saying this is what happened, coz i have no proof that they have been in discussions at all.

They have both gone quiet.

As for me I dont care as long as the above actions were not part of a master plan to sneak into the finals and beat me with some last minute acquisitions.

Not saying anything but it really was a strange move by The Dog Pound to "Dank" that game the way that he did.

As for my reference of it being Hird by commissioners and possible sanctions, I was just having some fun drawing a parallel to a matter which is occuring in the AFL

I am fairly sure it is your team, your decision. So if you decide to tank a game or even an entire season that is up to you.

There was a huge scandal in international BB competition several seasons ago when all of Europe ganged up against one team that was much stronger than the others, everyone played normal against them, mutual TIEs everywhere else with selective games thrown. There was a huge fuss made but nothing was done about it.

Yeah there is no particular rule against match fixing in BB.

But if you have been playing a full squad all year then just all of a sudden field 3 players and lose by as much PD as possible for match fixing purposes then it may anger some teams. Don't expect any favors from the angered teams later on, what goes around comes around right? LOL

I guess it comes down to how good you in political maneuvers. If you manage to get everyone to TIE you and CT your rival, then kudos to you =P You can be like whitebeard and just stay on the low and just keep winning ABBL championships or you can be like Sid Vicious and have a bullseye on your back. Neither method is wrong.
