An example of the re-ranking process where Teams 3 and 13 (bold italics) have adopted a tanking strategy for a particular simulation.

Team productivity gives a measure of a team’s strength, regardless of whether it tanks. Team 3 has made the finals and so does not tank in this year, whereas Team 13 under-performs by 10%, lowering its team productivity and lowering its ranking. Team 13 consequently has the potential to obtain a better player in the end-of-season reverse-order draft, as it now has pick number 2 instead of pick number 4 in the first round of the draft.
