From the manual: "Tanking, the definition: throwing away games, losing on purpose."

And: Tanking is not seen as a strategical approach to navigate through a football season, but rather as a crucial concern in RZA. Therefor tanked games cause penalties for the team that uses such approach.



Questions:

How does the detection of thrown away games and losing on purpose work?


Is it possible to report suspicious tanked games to the game administration? And how?


Is the "Warnlevel > 0" public to everyones attention on a team's homepage? If not, why not?

A.) not too much details...but as example "you punt all game long"...of course it is much deeper than that

B.) Just PM me, I am more than happy to learn new variants of tanking and I can't wait to enhance the "tanking detection algos"

C.) It is public

What if a player is tanking by playing both a QB and WR at the QB position, and an LB, CB and 2 WR's at the WR position? Is this tanking in your eyes Pete?

Possibly a difficult one to code i'd think as there could be honest reasons why this has happened, they may find themselves in this position due to injuries or accidental mistakes on the depth chart?

Nope, I've check 5 league games they could have won and this is happening each time, weirdly enough it DOESN'T happen in SuperCup games

I don't think this is tanking and I hope Pete doesn't think so either. ATM, I don't have a WR that can play QB, but I have a CB that can. Currently, I don't have a LB that can play WR, but I have 5 DBs that I'm training that can. Eventually, I hope to have more players that are versatile and can be employed at multiple positions in a pinch.
