One of the teams in my league's championship didn't send out a lineup today, in a Game 3 of a Finals matchup, and forfeited it. This same thing happened to me last season - the other team forfeited both games in the league finals without sending out a lineup.

Needless to say, it was annoying then, and, even just as a spectator, I found it annoying today.

I'd like to know what the justification is for allowing teams to do this, above and beyond, "The team belongs to the user, and they should be able to run it how they see fit."

Forgot/didn't know it was the day after.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

Same thing happened in my league, I was the #4 seed pulled off 2 upsets just to get to finals, lost game one in OT on a last second 3, and then he tanked the next 2 games to give me the title. A) i will win at D-4, I just think that something should be done for tanking a finals. They have changed tanking into a 4th, 5th and 6th seeds, why not have repercussions for tanking the playoffs?

The problem was also that they didn't have a default lineup set. (the "Make this the Standard Line-up" option). BB should really force all teams to have one.

Another game that can catch people by surprise is the Tuesday Cup game during all-star week. So just a heads up if you make it that far.

Finishing in 5th, or even 6th, used to be a lot better financially than finishing in 3rd or 4th.
There's no incentive or financial advantage to throwing game 3 of the finals. So I doubt anything will be done.
