I am pretty indifferent towards it either way, I can see how it devalues tanking but if you have owners who try and tank the league may fail for different reasons anyways.
Many posters have listed the reasons why it is a good idea, so I don't think there is a need to pile on as there are some very well thought out posts here.
The one issue I have is it can sort of screw over owners who were already unlucky. Let's say you have a great team and have a tough time deciding who to start each week and choose wrong more often than not. This will make you lose games, but your PP is still high you just set lineups poorly. So now you don't make the playoffs, but you also don't get a good draft pick due to potential points, is that fair? Or if you end up with the most points against, losing lots of games, no playoffs, but once again not a good draft pick. Head to head leagues have a lot of randomness, so removing it only in a portion seems strange. Mine as well go bestball if you want to use potential picks to determine the draft order.
BUT, that really good team who missed the playoffs because of bad decisions shouldn't be rewarded with a better pick. It's already a good team. The best picks should go to the worst teams.
Quoted these cuz theyre the most relevant to my stance. I voted Nay. I’m in agreement with what grooner posted. That said, the counter argument there from briank is plenty valid, but doesn’t make me a fan of PP.
I guess I’ve just been lucky to either be in a league where tanking hasn’t come up, or there’s other things in place? One league does a toilet bowl bracket, loser or each round goes on. Lose out for the playoffs to earn 1.01. If it’s fair to determine league winner by a playoff winning result, how is it not fair to determine 1.01 by a playoff losing result? Should we award 1.01 to the leagues lowest PP, and league championship to highest PP?
I’ve actually heard this suggested and don’t absolutely hate it. Not for me though. On either end. I think at the end of the day this isn’t a case where PP is right or wrong, it’s a preference.
