Default Re: 2007 Rules Discussion - Weighted Lottery for the #1 pick

- So what makes teams not trying each every single week? If until Joel's admitted tanking is the only thing you guys want to fix then... Jake's suggestion of league wide vote is the best solution. If it is improving competitiveness as a whole... playoff expansion + lottery is the best way

- I don't have a problem with improving competitiveness (beyond starting your best line up).... that is why I have brought forth the playoff expansion + lottery. However, I do have a problem with sacrificing bad teams from getting good picks like a Toilet Bowl or extra balls does. We're on the same page as far as improving league wide... and that's what you are threatning of leaving the league for... teams not trying. Playoffs expand + lottery will make teams try.
I'm threatening to leave? I threw that out there after YOU posted you wouldn't play in an environment in which the worst team may or maynot get the best shot at the #1 pick.

For you, it's either your way or the highway. Gimme a break Frank. I'm just pointing out that I can be just as stubborn, and in the end, it does NOBODY any good.
