Or team cash, stadium and flex.

What does this have to do with collusion? Did any of these teams get together with Tasmania and say, "gut after you play suchandsuch?"

Two totally different examples. And it's a great example of how the collusion that went on last year in the final game shouldn't have been tolerated last season between Haliberries and whoever they played so they could determine the playoff seedings/mess with the awards leaders.

This has as much to do with collusion as the Haliblack/BFM game did, tbqmfh

Seriously, because now it's quite the opposite, you GET flex to gut. LOL

Hypothetical situation is hypothetical, of course, but it could happen.

Let's take a look at the Zeta conference standings, shall we?

1. Three Kingdom Warriors (14-1)
2. Bonn Dynamo (12-3)
3. New Jersey Blaze (11-4)
4. Machu Picchu Hidden Dragons (11-4)
5. Honolulu Hurricane Warriors (11-4)
6. Santiago Benitos (10-5)
Everyone else

Note the three bolded teams. Now, in this hypothetical situation, let's say that they all win their last game and end up 12-4, shall we? So, now we determine playoff seedings. Head-to-head, each of these teams beat one of the others and lost one of the others, so it's a rock-paper-scissors tie, meaning that the new tiebreaker is points scored. I think you see where this is going, right?

Rankings by points scored through week 15:
1. New Jersey Blaze - 618
2. Machu Picchu Hidden Dragons - 544
3. Honolulu Hurricane Warriors - 469

Looks legit, right? Only if you look at their games played, it's not. Not even close, in fact. MPHD had the pleasure of playing the Tasmania Tigers after they gutted, which meant that they threw up a whopping 177 points. HHW wasn't so lucky, they played Tasmania pre-gut and only managed to score 30. Had HHW played Tasmania post-gut, I'm fairly sure that they would have thrown up more than 30 points.

Take away the Tasmania game stats and you have the following rankings:
1. New Jersey Blaze - 548
2. Honolulu Hurricane Warriors - 439
3. Machu Picchu Hidden Dragons - 367

That, my friends, equates to Tasmania gutting costing HHW a potential home game in the first round. No matter how badly HHW might beat Manitoba, they aren't going to make up a 75-point deficit.

So the question I have to pose to you all is this: should Tasmania be reprimanded in this hypothetical situation for gutting mid-season and directly affecting the playoff seeding?

ITT: SSD brings up a point that is completely unconnected to the Haliblack situation to try the "well someone else did it too" excuse which fails.

did you have to wait for Drago's post to post the same thing?
you can repeat the same a lot of times but it doesn't mean you're right.

We are trying out the Haliblack method of posting in numbers so that it gives the illusion you are correct by the sheer number of replies.
