Yeah, I have a hard time with actively punishing the last place teams. I think the goal of an incentive program is to make finishing in the top X stops more attractive.

And Ottoneu doesn't allow for flexibility like that yet, so it's not possible unless we edited things manually. But I dislike the idea because it makes it harder for teams at bottom to compete, not easier.
-
Forcing teams at the bottom of the standings to eat more arbitration increases makes it harder for those teams to compete going forward.
-
Sherm's idea sounds interesting, but that's actually working to hinder competitive balance. Teams in the bottom of the standings should have an easier time rebuilidng and becoming more competitive (waiver priority, winning auction ties)
-
I like Sherm's idea...
-
Could it be as simple as requiring more arb dollars to be allocated to low finishers? Is that something that can even happen on the back end?

It's hard to incentive those with no hope of winning when their odds of improving their team for the future are better if they lose, is the problem.
-
I can only speak for myself but if I were in the 5-8 range with little hope of winning I'd like some kind of reason to keep setting my lineup every day
-
just trying to incentivize as many places as possible
-
I like the concept, but don't think 8, 9 and maybe even 10 need to be penalized. We all sometimes just have bad years. I'd trim it back to 11 and 12 getting verbally smacked.
-
Works for me. No domestic violence jokes, please?
-
Haha, that's a lot of power. But whatever, let's make this incentive work. I'm down. What do others say?

so yeah, renaming. how about first renames 10-12, second renames 8-9, third renames 7? all top 6 slots somewhat incentivized, except i guess the difference between 4th/5th/6th

Still looking for some pitching, both majors and minors.
-
Going to be busy for the next week or two, not sure how much internet access I'll have, if you need me, email or gchat will work much better than ottoneu messages
-
I agree with DBA on the money. It doesn't take any to keep me active, and I'm unlikely to win. I don't play in money leagues.
-
I'd really rather not have money involved. I don't like mixing money and my hobbies. Plus I'm broke, but still don't like mixing money and hobbies.
-
I bet I could come up with something everybody would veto! :D That said, I'm down for the renaming prize.
-
"that" count: 5
-
I guess I don't know you guys THAT well but I am having a hard time imagining a name that someone here would pick that would be problematic enough that things would come to that though
-
Maybe we could force the renamer to pick a different name if 11 out of 12 owners veto it? I dunno
-
My team name is already a dick joke, in fact
-
Yeah Fishcakes already looks like he's out. We need repercussions for pulling this kind of shit (like getting nothing for the $$ you put in at the beginning of the year)
-
Wouldn't even be dick jokes that I have a problem with, just some sort of agreement that *some* things are over the line and wouldn't work.
-
Here's a question: where the f is Fishcakes? We definitely need a buy-in next year...
-
Agreed. No way dick jokes are off limits, dude. Sounds like someone may already have a bit of a complex on that topic, eh?
-
Seriously though, I think we should have some incentive not to have a shitty team year-in, year-out. Money would help, but that's not going to be till next year at the earliest
-
I'm not going to compromise on penis jokes, sorry man
-
As long as we as a league can agree on what is / isn't too far (at least on a reasonable case by case basis), I think it's an awesome idea.
-
of course, i agree; just poking fun.

I could always not agree, since I know my team name's getting changed? I'd be fine with all kinds of hilarious and embarassing stuff, but some things are too far
-
I'm in.
-
Says the guy whose team name will be changed.

I think something like that would be fun, as long as there's some sort of agreement on what is/isn't too far. IE, no penis jokes or something.
-
I'm in favor of it. Sounds fund.
-
So I heard two people in favor of my team-renaming idea--any other thoughts?
