They replied to the league saying they're just a rookie. And they're now up to $168 with $20 remaining available. So, making progress.

That teams poor record increases the chance of the wild card team coming from their division.

Yep- thats true--
he says hes new and is trying -- so dont think theres much to be done other than offer him advice which a couple folks offered to do.
the thing is that so many managers are now using alternate accounts its impossible to know who is actually new anymore.

As a competitor I fail to see the benefits of tanking in a one and done league, unless one of the teams in my division is my alt or my friend so that he may have a better chance at the playoffs.

Maybe I am just naive, but my mind does not work that way. I want to learn to win the correct way so I can beat most managers on a somewhat consistent basis and compete toe to toe with the best. I believe if you have to find loopholes or cheat to win you aren't really winning.

Good luck to all,

Coach

No one said there's logic in tanking, but please believe us it happens. This league is a perfect case of it.

Maybe he's related to Bob Nutting.
