Well, at least the other 14 teams in their conference. Which, please correct me if my math is wrong but I've come up with these percentage chances if you have a 1% chance that any single team is tanking (note that I'm using, initally, the chance that it's a team in your own division)
:
1 season of play: 13.1% chance that at least one of the other teams in your conference (14, total, not including you) is tanking.
2 seasons: a 24.5% chance that at least one team in either season was tanking
3 seasons: 34.4% for at least one tanker in any of the 3 seasons
4 seasons: 43.0%
5 seasons: 50.5%
6 seasons: 57.0%
So, if you're stuck in one of the lower rungs, where you see this behavior the most, for 5 years, you'll have roughly a 1 in 2 chance of having had someone in your league acting in bad faith and influencing the amount of PPs distributed, even if the number is as small as 1% for those teams, which, if this 1% is based on all teams, you're very unlikely to see this behavior in silver and higher leagues (where you may see teams that had previously tanked but just to get to that level they probably aren't tanking any longer), so it's likely to be even higher than that.
Hopefully the PT guys can see where "it's only 1%" doesn't mean that this isn't a really big problem?
