At least 3... I'm 50/50 on the payout right now. I am open either way, but kind of feel like their should be a payout for regular season winner as well.

Just get rid of Meat... I feel he's going to bitch the entire season.

No offense Meat, but this is supposed to be a men's friendly competition not a bitch fest of who can come up with the most non-traditional methods to keep things creative. I'm not paying $100 for a head to head competition just to get a smaller payout at the expense of a fuggin high scorer when I beat (or didn't beat) his ass during the season.

WTF cares if you scored the most points all year but didn't do it when it really counted?

Either confirm and stfu or I can go elsewhere. Doesn't really matter. You're that ONE GUY! THAT GUY!

Payout should probably be 1-4 with 4 basically getting his $ back.

hey just because you started playing fantasy football a year ago doesn't mean the rest of us don't want a REAL league...

THIS IS REAL SIMPLE DUMBASS (and I mean that in a nice way...you really are a dumbass)...

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE REAL NFL WHEN YOU GET THE #1 SEED?

You get a BYE. You get homefield advantage...

so lets not try and compare FFL to REAL football like you did previously...

if I go 12-0 and score 200 more points than someone...

I deserve some of the $$$

I deserve some sort of advantage...

INSTEAD

in traditional, playoffs only payout leagues...

as soon as the 4 playoff teams are set...

everyone is on level ground

no byes

no homefield advantage

so I don't get SHIT for being SUPER DOMINANT and building an amazing team...

other than having to duke it out on level ground with maybe 2 7-6 teams and a 10-2 team...

so **** off buddy

it's ONLY FAIR IN FFL TO PAYOUT FOR POINTS...

so don't ****ing talk shit to me about FFL when you're CLEARLY a ****ing n00b...

can't wait for your idiotic rebuttal (since you clearly won't and cannot have one)...

Here then, I'll help him.......**** You, Dickhead*


*(just making a joke, don't take it personally)

I think the 2 week matchups in the playoffs eliminate the "luck" thing to some measure. The #1 seed still plays in the divisional round.

Which is why I wish more guys were willing to play in Roto leagues.

They don't because they know they'd get their asses handed to them.

The whole point of FF is to build the best team.

There are too many flukes on a weekly basis.

We're discussing this in my biggest money league. The last 4 years, the highest scoring team for the season missed the playoffs.

Do you have any good links about Roto leagues?

Not yet. Our Commish is looking into it now. I'm going to do some research on it tonight.

[doomy3]

OK, since MahiMike said early in this thread that he will be out of the country September 3-10, and truebigdog requested that we not draft on Thursday, the draft has been scheduled for Monday, August 30 at 8:00 CDT. I will update the thread starter.

As soon as everyone has paid, we will have a draft order generated by using a random order generator online (we used one of these last year, and it worked great). Everyone's emails are entered into the system, and everyone receives the email with the draft order direct from the website, so it is fair to everyone.

I will allow the trading of draft picks as well, and ESPN is set up for such.

Now, please send me some email addresses so we can get invites sent out, and get this going.

Overall I pretty much agree with this also. Though I suppose I can see the anguish one might have over scoring the most points throughout the season and then not coming through in the playoffs. Matter of fact I think I was the pts. leader in the league I did last year but came in 3rd in the playoffs and didn't win shit. So I do understand. That being said I'd be okay with the top 4 teams each receiving a payout instead. Or perhaps the 4th team that gets a payout is instead the high pts. leader getting his $ back. I don't, but I'm on bored either way.

In our league ($150 buy in).....there are two divisions of 6 teams. The division winners get a 1st round bye in the playoffs. We don't have a highest points award though.

[wutamess]

Although he is a freakin drama queen... Meat did have a point though... Why aren't there 6 teams with top seeds from each division getting 1st round bye's?

I never liked the espn 2 week per playoff matchup deal.
It should be who's hot at the moment and did their homework to know that Manning & co will pack it in early so you have to go with Cassle that week or whatever.
It adds to the excitement.

If we can't get the playoff system the way we want it? Different league?
CBS has a pretty good format even though it is $120 or so... I'd be down for that.
Live draft and we can meet at Buffalo Wild Wings for a draft party. They throw in a shit ton of items to host it for you.

IMO, the 2 week matchup playoff format is the only way to go as it helps eliminate a fluke knocking out the better team. And as far as divisions go, I am not a fan of that either. If one division is loaded with the 4 best teams, how is it fair to the 4th best team in the league, who doesn't even make the playoffs? That is happening right now in a fantasy baseball league I'm playing in.

So eliminate the divisions....but give the two teams with the best records....week 1 playoff byes.
