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.

For now think about it like when club like Manchester City wins the title and then in the last 2 league games fields mostly juniors and saves main players for Champions League. If they play against clubs fighting relegation battle is totally unfair situation since they destroyed other clubs from bottom of the table and now they will even possibly loose points. So if organizations like Premier League did not find a way to regulate it how can we?

We will think about it, but whatever we do somebody can still find a way to avoid our measures. Best thing to do is to have a bunch of people playing that mutually respect one another and do whatever possible to uphold fair play. We are quite happy how first season went so far and I think it can only get better in the future as rivalries and friendships form among out group.

But would Manchester City ever decide to play with 9 guys instead of 11? That is why I said refusing to provide answers when you even submitted it in a timely manner comes with a very bad taste for several reasons. Again, and then I am closing this discussion on my part, filling out all questions but skipping the H2H when it actually asks for the final participants and the winner of the ATP in Madrid, that's weird. And I am quite sure that a B team of Manchester City is still able to beat an A team of some of those competing in the relegation zone of the table. But let's see if Manchester City decides to only bring on 9 guys instead of 11 and allow their goalkeeper to be an offender, should they secure the Premier League title early. Neither would Manchester City be allowed to do that, nor would they consider it for a second. It is deliberately destroying the competition beyond what is acceptable on any terms.
