This has come up in our PBEM as well, with some teams (including my own) going for really low wins because we can't win the championship. If we have the right number of wins, we draft early, we get junior transfers, and we still get in the tourney (for points).
I like the idea of simultaneous. I might be able to rig up something like that for the google spreadsheet that we're using. Because really, no team is going to go for fewer wins than they could naturally get.
Well - in the pros, that's not always true. There's always talk of teams "tanking it" so they can get better draft picks (and, that's kinda similar to what we're emulating here).
I'm not so worried about the PBEM -- I did it to learn the game, and on that front, it's successful. I envision playing this mostly as a face-to-face game or solitaire...so the order *is* important there (well, not so much for the solo game, I guess! :blush
