There will be no punishment handed down on the Amish, as there were no explicit rules to justify such.
The point it moving forward, we need a system in place to protect against twhat happened, learn from our mistakes if we may.
Passive tanking is a much bigger issue IMO. And I think it's widespread amongst teams once they realize they're out of it. I know Frank feels a 6 team playoff will resolve this to a degree, but I don't. I think a 6 team playoff will water down the quailty of competition in the Frenzy to the point where mediocrity is acceptable. Instead of the best of the best, it will be the hot hand at the end, a lucky win here or there to advance. Add in the major negatives of a double header week, or a week 17 championship, and I just can't get behind the idea at all.
BTW, speaking of passive tanking, I'm surprised I'm the only one that noticed 3 straight weeks of no line-ups from the Highlanders. As he requested last year (when I indirectly called him out on a similar issue), I attempted to address this privately with him a week ago, he read my PM (according to the tracking), and has yet to respond.
