ok so i finally read the bowis tanking rules

ill be taking this...

"Any playoff game where a typical "Best Player" plays more than 50% less minutes than their min/82 (exceptions to be made for foul trouble) will be considered a tank game"

"Best Players" are defined as the players any reasonable user would clearly play if they were trying to win."



and cutting this...

"Users are not allowed to tank a playoff game unless:

They announce on the league chat that they are tanking the game by 10:00 EST

Any announcement after this time will be considered void.
Any game that is tanked without an announcement prior to 10:00 EST will result in the following game being forfeited as well.

If an announcement is made that one opponent is tanking a game, the other user still needs to ensure that they are not tanking the game. If user A announces they are tanking, and user B plays one of their "Best Players" less than 50% of their min/82, user B will forfeit their next game and will not be allowed to tank that game."


just no tanking playoff games period

also it seems silly to put it to a vote...is anyone going to actually oppose this? even ben said hes cool with it and hes really the only owner ive noticed who uses the tanking strategy regularly

If it helps that is supposed to be my third best team. The one in the W1 hell division is supposed to be my best but looking like it won't make the playoffs in that division.

only 3rd best? yea i dont feel any better haha

jethro what is going on with your world 5 team?

you got 07-08 deron, 95-96 penny, and 02-03 tmac all on the same team! not to mention probably the best cooper season

oh and your 1st round pick, 19-20 harden, might need some mins too

5 guard lineups?

He made the finals in W5 last year. Going for the ‘ship this time around.

World 5 Atlantic is super gnarly as well.

Every time I put my best team in world 4, it backfires. Hopefully I caught all the dudes there with their weaker squads, but that is really scary.

Managed to avoid Rob in division completely at least.

Hardest Divisions

W5, Div 1

W1, Div 2

W4, Div 1

W3, Div 1

W2, Div 4
