Tanking rules verses playoff and relegation rules,

In relegation rules it automatically will max the stadium out for the game.

Tanking rules will make league games have low attendance if you are found guilty of 3 or more tanked games.

My question is if you tank 3 or more games and end up with a relegation game, what will the attendance be for that game. From reading the rules, it appears that the game would have max attendance.

After your todays game I am more in favor of a complete closed stadium for the rest of your season. I really dislike the style you lost todays game! Do you mind to offer an explanation?

In many games that I played in earlier seasons, teams did the same thing to me to build up their defensive players exp by not putting their offenses on the field. Yes you will loose, how ever you are allowed according to the rules to loose 2 games via bad playbook calling IE Tanking as you will loose.

Then there are beneficial reason as well to not winning. Teams have always benefited from this in the past as well, though in past years it would not of benefited me. This year you made rules with strict limits to bad play calling, I only took advantage of those current rules that are in place, as I assume others will as well.

I will reframe from using that offensive playbook again, though it was used in the past against me several times.

If you have no interest in winning a game why not use it to try out strange, but potentially genius, playbook ideas? Maybe you don't use tight ends much but certain situations could benifit from them, or your team throws medium passes really well out of a certain formation? I know a high draft position is good for your team but bettering your playbook would also be good? I know there's friendlies etc but i still feel it's a waste of play time info when games are played like this.

I played my regular defense through out the game to see how well a few of my younger defensive players performed as I get ready for next year. The teams I am playing are not in contention for play offs so my game had no effect on that. What I did was kick the ball on first down to put my defense back on the field. This would maximize their playing time to see more results. All my defensive players where playing their regular positions, all players played their normal positions, or where supposed to, just in case someone did something I didn't plan on.

As far as drafting goes, our draft is not a real good one and a better does help but really wont matter that much. Furthermore, I stayed in the same place in the ranking of my league. So I am not getting a better draft pick.

Ok I will try that run 3 times and punt to get my defense back out on the field and get the same results. If Pete is Ok with that. I know I will get a second warning, but it gives me a chance for one more game that wont matter much to see how my defensive players will perform.

There are all kinds of data you can pour through from the Leatherhead League - Season 1 to help you come up with a positive karma playbook. I think the league average for rushing was less than 2 yards, lol.

You could kill 2 birds with one stone.

Throw long every play and compile the ridiculous interception results. Not only will you get your defense back on the field quicker than running 3 times but you could also post the results and compare them to NFL stats of passes over 25 yards and show how accurately the engine sims long passes with RL.

This way you don't break the rules, accomplish getting your defense experience, and give Pete valuable information on an area he may not have realized needs work. You can accomplish what you want plus provide a service for the owner and community of RZA.

Since we all now have to have the same offensive PB having med. and long pass as an option could allow for a slight diversity among successful teams.
