Expected Owner Conduct
Owners will be expected to conduct themselves in a manner that will not disparage the league nor its owners in any way, shape or form. While bragging is always a part of many owner's personality and is to be expected, inflammatory or taunting acts will not be tolerated. The Commissioner will have total authority in drawing the line between a brag and a taunt. This will be strictly enforced.

All owners are expected to start the best lineup available to them each week. If it is suspected that an owner has started a lineup with the intention of allowing his opponent to win (tanking) the league will vote on the suspected lineup. If six owners (out of 11 remaining) feel that the owner intentionally lost on the week in question, the offending owner will be put on probation. The outcome of the week in question will stand. If an owner is found guilty of this action a second time, their team will be taken over by the Commissioner. The Commissioner will set the offending team's lineup for the remainder of the season, and any prizes the owner has or will receive will be forfeited and added to the end of the season prizes. Also, after a second offense, that owner will be excused from the league and a new owner will be found the following season. If any owner feels that an offense has occurred, they must report it to the Commissioner, and then a vote will take place. This vote must take place prior to the following week's game.


Here are the Indians' most recent games:
Week 8

Week 7

Question:
Have the Indians been "tanking" games?

Choices:
Yes
No

 

The Indians have been placed on probation. Another occurance of tanking and the team will be taken over by the Comissioner (In this case Scott since I have a team in this league).

Examples that qualify as tanking:
Starting a player on BYE when a player on the bench could start in his place.
Starting a player listed as OUT on the injury report when a player on the bench could start in his place.
