nag - let me put it in terms you can understand, anytime you want to cease being "Daxos" and answer the question posed to you earlier, go ahead.

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT G.G. YOU WOULD BE PLAYING IN A HIGH-STAKES FANTASY FOOTBALL EVENT WITH MAYBE 30 OTHER PEOPLE. oh, i don't think it will happen. people love lotteries (daily number, powerball, mega millions, slot machines, etc).

NOW, if a new fantasy football contest emerges that removes most of H2H and the 3 week sprint (when scores reset), they'll get ALL of my money. [/QUOTE]IN YOUR HEART OF HEARTS G.G. IF YOU REALLY ENTRULY FELT HIGH STAKES FANTASY FOOTBALL WAS INDEED A "LOTTERY" WHY WOULD YOU SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON IT?

H2H isn't nearly as "luck driven" as you make it out to be, Mark. That is a losing argument for you.
the #18 finisher last year in the NFFC was Generation Swine. He scored 1,758 points and finished with a 7-6 record.

here's a list of teams that all finished below 200 overall in points and HAD THE SAME RECORD as the 18th best owner:
205 TopGuns 1481.3
207 'Team Ezzell' 1479.6
216 FresnoFanaticsFB5 1472.3
218 Authentic Satan 1468.8
219 TOPDOGG 1468.1
224 Sabretooth 1461.4
225 Rube Nation 1455.65
229 The Ambiguously Gay Duo 1451.7
234 'Team Jefferson' 1442.65
235 LegionOFDoom 1442.45
252 'Team Maresca' 1409.15
253 'Team Mieszala' 1408.7
254 CANADIAN BEAVERS 1407.3
264 Fire Millen 1381.75
271 Grid Reapers 1366.05
273 RI Workhorse Main Event 1362.6
288 The Dark Knight 1319.35

ad two teams ranked below 200 overall had a BETTER record than the #18 owner. both these teams finished 8-5.
217 Crabcakes 1469.4
258 The Fall Guys 1398.25

sure scoring more points leads to a better record on average, isn't nearly as much as you make it out. See facts above. When the #258 finisher has a better record than the #18 finisher, that means the system is BROKE. That system is H2H. Keep the blinders on
