What about the new teams ? will they ever be able to reach the level of old teams ?


Tanking would not change that as old teams could also tank and earn more money than new teams.

So yes, they may reach the level of old teams, this will just take some time as in any country.

Is there any other way except tanking by which 2nd team can come to the level of 1st team and compete it.
Basketball knowledge, statistical analysis, competition analysis, strategy analysis, goal setting (particularly long-term), patience, communication, humility (ability to take on new information as it appears more logical).. etc.. etc..

Patience and capitalization on opportunity. And superior skill I suppose.

Please take a look at this league and its 22nd regular season game: 4 teams intentionally causing a walkover just to reach 5th place.

I really think it's time to punish intentional walkovers:
- one game no revenue for the team that causes a WO
- no effect of TIE in this game
- 5th place teams that caused a WO have to pay wages throughout the rest of the season.

The salary floor in India is $242k. Just for reference, I started in Season 14 and have made the playoffs every season since. Admittedly the current number 1 in India tanked 5 seasons and then spent $15 mil at one shot but it is possible to be competitive without tanking.

FWIW, there's definitely already no effect for TIEing if you give a WO.

this season in Italian SerieA there have been 2 teams tanking. They have got tons of money and next season will have a rooster that no other team in II will be able to afford. All I can hope is that neither of them will relegate to my league.
THIS REALLY SUCKS !

So, 466 posts later, the thing that irks and irritates and causes dissatisfaction among most people, this cheating phenomenon... nothing is being done yet?

Well do they care? As long as we pay for supporter and (accidentally) click on their ads, they're all good.

I cross my fingers that this isn't the case!
