If this happened in real sports, no fans would show up for a long time. Maybe that should be the punishment...No fans for a season just like in Football when they make teams play in front of ZERO fans.

Also...I seriously doubt he would have thrown the game if he didn't have a free pass every season...maybe the free pass stuff should end,

For the same reason Gregg Popovich has been fined in the past when resting his players during a regular season game which was on TV, it kills the entertainment of one of the biggest game of the season in BB.

It is a way to show your opinion and maybe that is a good opinion and enthusiasm should be changed for the B3, but changing rules because of a walk-over during the B3 finals and no sanction would set quite a precedent.

well said

I think it's better for you to consider punishing managers for losing games intentionally in national leagues which affect other managers' final standings. This guy did not make any harm to other users, just to himself and he doesn't deserve to be punished.

I tend to agree that as the rules are now there should be no punishment, and in fact, I am not sure punishment should be added to the rules for walkovers in the B3. I actually several seasons back was in a league final series against a fellow I consider to be a good friend, and after getting destroyed at his arena in game 1, I knew I had no chance of winning the series. We agreed that he'd throw game 2 and I'd throw game 3 for revenue, and we tried to set up our players for individual scoring records. Fun times.

I think in this scenario it may have been better to try to do the same, and maybe to make it public for those who follow the predictions. But when no training is impacted and no other teams either, the harm involved is next to nothing.

(Please note for the record that I have not been abducted by aliens and I am in fact apparently in agreement with Lemonshine. 2016 is indeed a strange year.)
