Hello, I juste want to suggest something about abusive forfeits.
In my league, one team have 15 forfeits, I think to have the first pick in the draft (it's a relegated team). It's not normal and fair for the other team.
It would be great to penalize this type of team for more equality.

What do you think?
Thanks

Forfeits should be counted as wins and problem with first pick would be solved.

MY suggestion: 1 forfeit = 1 spot drop in the draft

1 missed setting a lineup could happen but 3,4,5... not a mistake and would punish accordingly

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

Or more simply, make forfeits the first part of what determines draft order, and then record and the rest of the tiebreakers. Forfeit a game and nobody else does, you pick 16th, end of story. The only exception that needs to be made is if a new owner takes over for a team, the forfeits before the owner took over should not count against the current owner.

Forfeits should also cause teams to lose training for the week and lose TV income. Problem solved.

I isn't pure sarcasm.
This idea works completly opposite than expected so it's bad idea. You want to create difficulties for teams, which fight in unsportsmanlike way for 1st pick, however this change would help them. Currently if two or more teams "fight" for 1st pick then sometimes one of them decides to forfeit. It means his training in this game is lost. If forfeits are penalized then this team will not forfeit but try to lose by the most possible points difference. So nothing will change, competition still will be distorted however teams fighting for 1st pick will be in better situation because they will receive training, there will be more reasons to do it.

How dare someone forget to set their lineup once every few years or so. How dare them , who gives a damn if these people have family members who have passed away or personal problems. How dare they not set their lineup , show no mercy to these selfish persons
