Anti Tanking Rule

[Vik]

Current rule is unclear and does not make much sense, plus has not really been enforced. This is not a poll because the new structure is much better and is a comish decision to change in order to improve league competitiveness, however, if there is objection or other suggestions please feel free to comment and open to considering a modification. Otherwise below will be taking into effect

Current Rule

Beginning in the 2017 season, any team scoring...

Less than 2,000 points lose their 1st round pick for that season.
More than 2,000 but less than 3,000 points loses a 2nd round pick for that season.

Unowned teams will not be subject to this provision

New Rule Change

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 & teams who have a 1st year new manager will not be subject to this provision

Will there be or can there be some provisions made for owners that have just taken over completely awful teams.  I know that I'm not the only new owner to take over anabandoned team.  It may be 2 or 3 years before we can turn these teams around.  Penalizing new owners will only prolong the rebuild.   I took over a team with no money (bottom 1/3 of the league) and no players (19/40man and only 65/200 MiLB).

Im going to hold off doing this till 2021 season.

Good point on 1st year new managers not being subjected to this rule. Discussed this but looks like forget to add it in the posting so it is now modified.

In terms of if we implement this rule for all other teams this year or next year the final decision will be made shortly
