Forum > Goal Line Blitz > So GLB: How do we feel about owners cheating/colluding to intentionally lose and get shut out in a week 16 game, to keep another team out of the playoffs?

In this pure hypothetical of course; Team 1 is a strong 13-2 team playing a solid 7-8 team. If team 1 beats team 2, then a 3rd team 3 at 7-8 (going to be 8-8) who already lost to team 1 earlier in the season goes to the playoffs. Furthermore if team 1 scores even a field goal, team 3 will win points allowed tiebreakers and go to the playoffs. If and only if team 1 loses while being shut-out does team 2 make the playoffs over team 3.

Team 1 proceeds to replace his AI's for week 16 only with bort premade AI's, knowing full well it will make his team play MUCH worse. Team 1 loses to team 2 by a score of 0-66, getting shut out for the first time this season.

So, should there be any penalty to team 1 for this?

Oh and btw, http://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=5233803&page=1#49067000 this is jdbolick admitting to exactly what was outlined above. I am not accusing people of things when they exactly admit to it.

Oh and btw, Cheating/Colluding to keep a team out of the playoffs -vs- Cheating/Colluding to get a team into the playoffs are effectively the same thing, and clearly both were done here.

If you suspect a team is colluding, your only option is to contact Support and/or myself. Any and all threads/posts regarding the matter will be locked and/or moved/deleted. This is not negotiable.

so, if you want to accuse others of breaking the rules, shouldn't you follow the rules as opposed to breaking rules too?

Well, one of those options is still available anyway...
