maybe a penalty where they are deducted enough points to make it impossible to make the finals this season. On top of this, the next say 6 "wins", they will not be awarded any points. This to carry over into next season. This then gives them the incentive to keep winning, but at the same time know that they win not be playing finals this year. Just a thought!
