Should we adjust our consolation bracket format? Do we add tiers?
Additional voting/discussion as needed
Should we adjust how many teams make the Championship bracket?

I believe we should keep the Consolation Bracket as it is. I am tired of typing, so I will just copy-paste my post from another thread:
"The point of the having the Consolation Ladder was to keep teams from "throwing in the towel" so to speak in an effort to get the number one pick. In understand the logic behind a tiered bracket, but worry a little about an 11th-14th place team trying to stay bad or a 7th-10th place team trying to get worse to get the pick. With that said we're all capable of making our own decisions and strategies, but I don't like the idea of a team intentionally tanking during the handful of weeks before playoffs.
E.g. T#10 is playing T#6 a week before playoffs; T#10 is eliminated from the Big Bracket, but know they need to lose to get into the Second Tier of the Consolation Bracket; T#7 is playing T#8 anticipating the winner has a chance to steal that last playoff spot, but T#6 is playing against a team trying to lose."

I took over an extremely weak team early on last year, and it's been nice having a goal to chase even when the playoffs have seemed out of the realm of possibility. This year I was rewarded for not just blowing my team up in July with an eventual win in the consolation bracket. In the tiered system, I wouldn't have had a chance at it as a 10 seed, despite the fact I had the same record as the 9 seed. It just doesn't make any sense to change this, personally.
