Creative sentence
The league writes a custom timed exam covering the loser's worst decisions of the season, essay questions included, and proctors it seriously. Wrong answers about their own roster are read aloud. A cheaper SAT alternative with better inside jokes.
Budget note: this one costs nothing but dignity, which makes it a strong pick for leagues that would rather spend the pot on the champion than on the loser's downfall.
