Tanking manager complaint - RESOLVED!!!!

so you are saying a guy dropped a majority of his players and picked up free agents to replace them at a 20% penalty?

Don't know what the problem with that is? It's not breaking any rules is it?

I wonder if the guy was not taking the league seriously and wanted to do an experiment to see how good or bad he would do if he replaced his team?

Or if he was losing anyway so did a total team overhaul?

Im not sure how when a person decided to do something that another manager feels like he is "not trying" is of any other business except the manager himself. If a guy wants to tank his team that's his prerogative. No rules are broken.

The only thing that seems interesting would be the advantage the other teams in his division would get since he would be playing them more often. Which doesn't matter much except for the wild card spot. The other divisions would still have the same leaders and in the post season the advantaged team from that division would no long have an advantage except perhaps home field advantage perhaps.

Hmmm...

Now that I thought about it I have changed my mind. It skews the division and playoffs too much giving the offending teams' division and advantage both for a wild card spot and home field advantage in the playoffs.

But I'm still of the opinion that if I want to get rid of a guy cuz he is sucking in order to pick up a different guy that has a smaller salary I have the right to do it without being accused of tanking my team. Even if it's 5 or 6 guys.

Scott.

I'm in this league and the complaint is more than valid. The league started this past Monday. The guy dropped his yesterday and also today so after 6 games his $80M team was down to $67M. Robert and I are in different divisions than this guy. So the 3 other teams in his division get to beat up on this guy. Yeah, I would like my credit back too.

Looks like John G took over the team, but now he has the full $80M and still with dropped players. Tainted league. Sound be a do over

He said THE ENTIRE TEAM. not 1 or 5 or 6 and yes tanking is against the rules.

Fair Play policy

Please be respectful of your league-mates throughout the season so that all may have a pleasant environment in which to play. The following behavior will not be tolerated:

Tanking. You may not intentionally throw games, under any circumstances.
Salary dumping. You may not jettison talent from your team, hold a "fire sale", or otherwise make wholesale changes to your roster that reduces the overall salary value of your team.
Collusion. You may not conspire with another manager, by making trades or by changing your team settings when playing against that team, to achieve any sort of anti-competitive goal, e.g. to help a team win, or to gang up on another team.
Offensive language. You may not communicate with other managers in a manner that they could find offensive.

If you violate any of the above rules, at our discretion, Strat-O-Matic.com will seize control of your team and you will not be eligible for a refund. Repeat offenses will result in a ban from ever playing the game again.

It was 12 guys dropped, so only half the team after 3 games.
I'd love to be able to predict the season like that after 3 games, I'd be better at this.

Way more than 12-he did it two days in a row.
I guess the reason he dumped Erick Aybar was because he was only hitting .500

SOM acted quickly!

"We have removed the manager in question and have reversed the moves. We apologize for the inconvenience but there should not be a problem with this league going forward."

They assigned the team to another manager in addition to resetting the team to the state it was in before the dumps. All that I could have hoped for. THANK YOU SOM!

great to hear!

Anything negative to add Nev? I'm sure you can think of something

All sunshine and puppy dogs here.
