For other commishes, what’s your thoughts on teams actively trying to tank? And what do you do to prevent it?

If you tank by trading away your best assets for picks no problem - benching your studs to intentionally throw a week is banned in all my leagues

Easy way to prevent it is max potential pts for when determining draft order for non playoff teams

There’s different types of tanking. If you want to trade away your best players for picks/youth and tank I’m 100% fine with that. Now if someone isn’t setting their lineup and benching good players intentionally then that’s where it becomes an issue

I agree with @TDogg7. Trading away good players for youth and picks is fine, but as long as they are setting lineups and playing a reasonable lineup, I don’t have an issue. Another thing that I do in my league (12 teams) is that the consolation bracket for the 6 teams that miss the playoffs is what determines draft order. Between the 7th-9th place teams from the regular season, they are competing for picks 4-6 based on how they do during weeks 15-17 (record in those 3 games, points scored as tiebreaker) and same thing for the 10th-12th place teams, who compete for picks @protasma

as long as they are not just giving all their good players to one team....

tanking is a strategy used in most every professional league (by the smart GMs)
