I wonder if there's some way we could do a lottery based just on a team's record. So if you lose 110 games we apply a percentage that your pick would drop at 50%. If it comes up yes, then your pick drops to [HASH]2 (if you were [HASH]1). But if you lose 100 games then that percentage might only be a 35% chance of dropping. Would it get applied to all teams or just the [HASH]1 team... hmmmmm. Probably all teams. Or maybe the bottom 10. Wouldn't be based on where you finish though, just on the amount of losses you have. So scratch bottom 10. Let's say there are two teams with 110 losses and 3 teams with 100 losses... 112 - 50% - drops 111 - 50% - stays 109 - 35% - drops 108 - 35% - stays 107 - 35% - drops So the end product would be... 111 112 108 109 107 107 doesn't drop out of top 5 because the next team's losses are 99 and that doesn't qualify for modified lotto. my brain does not want to process what you just said Pretty much me thinking out loud. I don't think it's going to be harsh enough for some people though. |

so, everybody below 60 wins goes into a random draw pool for order, yep, much better

the goal would be to make it so the benefit of losing 150 vs. 100 is negligible, I agree. But other people are going to see 150 and think they should be punished more because they lost more. |

The issue with my method is, you would basically have to decide, lose 112 or go for a win, cause being in the middle is useless.
But yeah, if you just scramble the picks of all 112+ losers, you end up with the target being to end up with 60 wins each year...not a bad thing

Use the reds when I first started this league as an example of what tanking does....it benefits a draft pick. That's all. Fucks your financial situation up....

And I think we're at a place ratings-wise where every pitcher you have on your MLB roster has to have at least a 5 in AR. silly |

Old rules were way better. These rules were put into effect when Erbes wanted to start tanking. |

Lol my intentions weren't to change the rule for my benefit. Wtf. Have I done anything in this league for my sole benefit? The tanking rules were too strict in general. They made it too hard to rebuild for small market teams. lmaooo at too strict |
