Is "tanking" common?

This is just my 2nd week playing perfect team. I made the Iron WS 1st season but lost in 7 games. So now I'm promoted to Bronze, and i'm leading the division, but the league leader is this guy, with 100-95 starters all over his staff and lineup. He clearly tanks to get back to the lower divisions as he won the silver WS then got demoted 3 years in a row after that with ridiculously bad records.

Why do they do that? Too earn more trophy's, and is it easier to earn Perfect Points? Kind of disheartening seeing an all star roster like he has, with little chance to compete. His 5th starter is better than my ace, but we're still just a couple games behind so we'll keep chopping wood.
