And then everybody who has tickets for your games, now it's 50% off.

But basically, if they announce it, and either you announce it or you don't, if you don't announce it and then you try to tank, you don't get to be in that group because you're one chance to stop.

So in November, it would be like six teams have announced they're already tanking.

And they're just in that group.

And then they could try.

You could play guys.

You could try to beat teams.

And it wouldn't matter because you're in that thing anyway.

I'm saying like, you know, November that Washington doesn't care.

Right.

We knew you knew that in October that Washington didn't care.

No, they were rationally motivated.

All right.

We have these spots for the tanking lottery.

Do you want to be in there or not?

Do you want to throw away?

You're not allowed to make the playoffs.

Your tickets are going to be 50% off for the entire year, but you can reserve your spot in the tanking lottery right now.

So Washington, Utah are like, that sounds great.

You know, that's not really much of a disincentive.
