But I think that casuals are as well interested in a certain level of competitive integrity. As soon as you take skin out of the game for those who can harm the competition even deliberately (like simply not submitting an answer in H2H), you take away some of the least requirement for integrity, which is "if you submit, submit all answers". I think that integrity would actually attract more people than shy them away. I like the competition here and since it is a long-term thing, I think it would be bad if someone gets relegated or not promoted because someone else decided to give away 3 points to a potential direct competitor. But your competition, your rules.
We fully agree with this, yes. We'd like to once again ask all players to be fair to the competition and submit all answers, because skipping some of them directly harms some people in the league and helps others.
There's actually no easy fix for this - because even if we do punish the player who does not submit the damage is still done - it does not change the outcome for the affected party.
Still - we'll take what you said into serious consideration because we understand it's a crappy feeling when a person close to you on the table is getting points for free.
