Group A (Rules that REWARD tankers that intentionally try to lose but make them go through more hoops in order to lock down the top picks)
1. Some type of minimum roster requirement (it would take time to figure out the details if we go in this direction but a few ideas have already been presented)
2. Some type of AB/IP requirement (it wouldn't necessarily take a lot of time to pick some numbers)
Group B (Subjective rules that do not allow teams to intentionally lose with good players on roster)
1. Some type of requirement that forces teams or a certain group of teams to not bench their BEST players somewhat like the rule Joey's NBA league passed - basically just a subjective standard to make sure people are maxing out what they have (this rule is posted in the discussion thread on page 1 near the bottom. It could be used as a starting point that we tweak.)
Group C (Rules that do not reward tankers and award picks separately from how much a team decides to intentionally lose)
1. Some type of lottery system (this will probably take a decent about of time to figure out too as there are a lot of options if we care about getting to fair results)
2. Some type of system that awards picks without considering W% though it could consider whether a team made or missed the playoffs. Rangers GM had one idea that probably won't work, but I think there are probably lots of other ideas out there to try to create some other type of points system to determine which team actually deserves the top 10 picks or maybe more (this is going to take the most time to figure out I think as it is a whole separate category of idea and no one has brought up a serious proposal yet even though there are a bunch that could work)
Group D - No Changes (Tank Free For All)
*Group C rules might need to have some type of roster or AB/IP mins attached to them as well just to stop lazy owners or owners that want to screw over the league in protest or something, but those roster or AB/IP mins wouldn't be central to the rule, just an important tack on.
Penalty: (For All Groups)
