Offseason update
As we have mentioned in our last season news post, we are a bit worried about the number of users that have chosen to follow the strategy called “tanking”. Even though the strategy is not very successful, some teams still pursue it and it's frustrating for their fellow league members to see less competing teams. Therefore, we have decided to take some measures. “Tanking” should still be an option and we don't want to eliminate it completely, but from now on, the profit, we predict, won’t be so high. Starting in Season 21, the salary floor will change for the first three divisions. First division salary floor will be 180% of the tv contract, second division will increase to 140% and third division to 100%. The other divisions will remain the same.

We also want to remind all of you about a couple of upcoming offseason events. First, the draft. Don't forget to set your orders before Sunday 19th. Scouting for this season has ended, so there's no point in waiting any longer. Your future stars are waiting for you, so choose wisely and good luck with your picks!

And finally, but also very important, remember that next week marks the start of the elections for senior national teams. If you feel up for the job, go to the elections page of the country you want to apply for, and sign in! It’s always a good idea to introduce yourself as a candidate in the national forums, or just take part in the debate, and of course, don't forget to vote!

so the salary floor going up roughly 130k for ABBL. I guess it does meet their aim of " “Tanking” should still be an option and we don't want to eliminate it completely, but from now on, the profit, we predict, won’t be so high"

Seems a half way measure to sitting on the fence, but will be interesting to see how much it actually changes people thoughts around tanking as an option.
