Combined Standings

I think this could be easily fixed going forward. I'd make people declare what teams are to be coupled for Combined Standings purposes. This eliminates the "best ball" opportunity that apparently exists today.

Good luck to everyone!

I dont get it. Your saying that because he has 2 teams that one should not be allowed to compete for prizes that all other teams are allowed to compete for, dont really make no sense to me. some people just want to find every little thing to bitch about and beat it into the ground.

I can assure you that Mr. Curry himself was, in fact, running between three draft tables during the NFFC Primetime in New York.

Impressive. Most impressive.

If I'm playing golf and the guy I'm playing against is playing best ball with a partner (or taking two swings himself from every spot), I'm pretty sure I'm at disadvantage.

When the $1 million bonus was offered last year, I proposed a scenario in which one person could bankroll EVERY TEAM in the NFFC -- thereby guaranteeing the bonus would be paid.

Without the bonus, such an arrangement would result in a huge loss.

Personally, I don't have aproblem with teams withmultiple entries as they don't have an advantage that isn't open to any of us. We all have the ability to have extra teams if we want to risk the cash.

The lack of common sense on these boards is amazing at times. I was being a little sarcastic with my earlier post but if a person pays to compete he should be allowed to compete for the same prize money as everyone else no if, ands or butts.

No need to be so harsh.

I think it potentially has a greater negative impact if allowed to stay as is for next season.

Like I said before and was confirmed by KJ, allowing best-ball from entries puts most at a disadvantage.

It's like the Indy 500 setup currently. There are 3 major owners with deep pockets and then everyone else. The difference being, every entrant on race day gets paid. There's no guarantee of that here.

It makes for a very boring race for most of the field as they go into it with a big disadvantage. I feel the same will happen here. This would possibly limit participation on the whole and ultimately make the bonus extinct.

We'll see.

All we have to do is require the multiple team owners to state which teams they want to pair to compete for the prize. And have them do it before the season starts. We could even let them do it after the drafts are held so they could choose their "best" teams.

Even that would be better than a rolling best ball entry. IMO
