Etiquette in BB? Seriously?

I find it funny when people are claiming code of ethics(besides established rules) should be implemented in an internet game, like this.
As far as im concerned, i've associated one face and 4-5 voices, to the whole BB community. The rest is usernames, team names and avatars...

Hypothesis:
Team X plays in the B3 final against a pretty evenly matched opponent.
Manager of team X is ranked no1 in the B3 predictions so far. Three managers follow within one prediction distance.
Team X forfeits the game(B3 final), cause its manager wants to be certain that he finishes 1st in the predictions and gets the prize.

Is it ethical?

p.s the scenario could be even nastier. Manager of team X being 4th in the predictions, within one prediction from the top three and his team a massive favorite in the B3 final!

For the same reason Gregg Popovich has been fined in the past when resting his players during a regular season game which was on TV, it kills the entertainment of one of the biggest game of the season in BB.

4 points less enthusiasm - if młoty played normally and lost 20 - 30 points would be okay? Show must go on?
4 points less ent. - all my players are "resting"
Rules BB (+ strong Polish league) is Greg Popovich, not me
I only showed "Greg Popovich" in the spotlight.

Supporter.... pffff
I forgot about that
For supporter I would play normally but with stupid settings and tactics, not walkover

I'm happy to accept penalty - disqualification in B3 prediction
It's real punishment, real money

It is a way to show your opinion and maybe that is a good opinion and enthusiasm should be changed for the B3, but changing rules because of a walk-over during the B3 finals and no sanction would set quite a precedent.


Sorry but I don't get it.
Why should he be penalized for that? I forgot to set a lineup during the first game of my playout, it's my team to be penalized by losing (I didn't do a WO since I had the default lineup). And as far as I know, this is an individual game, I've my own team and I can decide wether to win or lose. Even on porpouse. And nothing in the rules forbid to walk over, isn't it?
If you do WO you will automatically lose 0-50 and normal. Nothing more.
So if the penalty is related to the BB prediction ok, he already knew the results and he get an unfair bonus in the prediciton game. But for the rest, the global code of conduct doesn't say something about WOs.
