I don't believe we need an anti-tanking rule in the Frenzy. Seems to me that isn't really addressing the problem - really serving only as a band-aid, and a band-aid that will also have a negative affect on the competitive balance in the league (regardless of how much it is minimized). The Frenzy is about highly competitive owners. I really believe we can trust the group of guys we have to get out if they've lost the desire for competition.
Not turning in a lineup is one thing. Turning in a lineup of non-starters or low impact players because your trying to benefit your team next year is completely another.
That being said, I finish between 4th and 7th almost every year, so I'm not likely to make too much of a fuss if you guys want to give me a chance at a top RB.

Obviously you're not cheating for doing this, but I think it is a sign of what a collasal failure the flex lineup option has been. But, I won't digress down that road at this point.
I've got to take issue with a couple of your points here. The first is your contention of, and I quote, "owner
s that have a strong history of good competition." Frank? Sure. Joel? He sucked last year, and he sucked this year. That's too strong a statement in my book.
You say that a anti-tanking rule would be a band-aid to what the real problem is. What do you think the real problem is? I'm curious, because I think people tanking games is a problem. If there is a larger problem out there we should be addressing, I'd like to know what that is, so we can address that.
I agree that the Frenzy is about, or at least I agree it should be about, highly competitive owners. We had that for a number of years, but I just don't think we are where we were. When we have antics like this, it sure appears to me that as a collective group, we've regressed, and we either need to change the rules, or change the goals, because obviously we're not all playing for the same goals.
I'm really disturbed that you have no problem with teams turning in lineups feature no impact players with the intention of losing games. I guess I'm just surprised this does not raise more eyebrows around here.
