Tanking Explanation

[EastCoastGonzo]

A question was asked about how the tanking rule would have affected last year; so to give everyone an idea:

Tanking Rule
Beginning in the 2020 season, any team scoring…

Less than 40,000 Total Season Fantasy Points will lose their 1st round pick for that season and $2,000,000 in International Free Agency funds the following season.

Between 40,001 and 50,000 Total Season Fantasy Points will lose their 2nd round pick for that season and $1,000,000 in International Free Agency funds the following season.

Unowned teams will not be subject to this provision

If the new rule had been in place last season then:

and would have lost their 1st round pick for that season and $2,000,000 in International Free Agency funds the following season.

would have lost their 2nd round pick for that season and $1,000,000 in International Free Agency funds the following season.
