Making it worth it to keep playing after the playoffs begin

[Deleted]

Howdy all. Was wondering on what people’s thoughts are on adding some incentive to continue playing. It seems to me that there’s really no point to keep playing once you’re out of the playoffs. To me it seems that you’d rather not play and just tank for a better pick. Is there any ideas of what we can do to add some incentive to keep playing?

“Consolation bracket” becomes a tournament for first pick?


I’m not saying for this year as I know the rule wouldn’t take effect until next year. But just wondering what other people’s thoughts are.

I've always been basing draft order on standings at the end of the regular season for non-playoff teams, so tanking during the playoffs doesn't matter. You're right though, maybe we should come up with something. I'm open to ideas!

I never give up btw so even if I am not on a week my roster is still set.
