How about this to determine main event league champions?

#1 seed - Best H2H record
#2 seed - Most points
#3 seed - Best all-play record

Have the 3-week points playoff among these teams for all league payouts (championship, 2nd & 3rd). I also would have all three of these teams making the overall championship round. WINNER, WINNER - CHICKEN DINNER [/QUOTE]I am assuming if someone was fortunate to have best H2H, most points, AND be best in all-play they would win the top prize of $5,000 (and the other 2 teams would fight 3 weeks for the $2,500 and $1,000)?

Certainly would make it difficult to win the $5,000 in the regular season, but personally I like it.

[/QUOTE]What happens when someone wins 1 and 3, and not 2?

People won't join if it's confusing.

One thing I'd like to see changed is the schedule.

Leave Week 1 as 1 vs 2, 3 vs 4, etc...

But mix up the rest of the weeks each year and don't allow anyone to see the schedule until drafts are posted.

Waz - no, see above, leader after 13 weeks doesn't mean squat, it's just a ticket to the playoffs, same as real football. Don't like that AT ALL KJ.

People aren't going to like dominating a season for 13 weeks, only to slump, have a poor 3 week showing, run into a "monster", etc. and end up with less than their investment ($1,000).

I realize we want to make this like "real football", but unless we can give some teams a bye (i.e drop their lowest week) AND some sort of point advantage (i.e home field), this shouldn't be handled like "real football".

Like John says, if it is too complicated people won't want to play.

Greg,

It is not exactly a rule change but more or a scheduling issue. In Vegas we would like to see each time slot for drafting have a Draft Master and a Auction for the 3 draft times. You might do a $650 Draft Master and Auction in the AM. A $1300 Draft Master and Auction in the PM and a $1950 Draft Master and Auction in the late afternoon. This would allow more flexibiltiy in playing the formats people are interested in. I wouldn't mind seeing more flexibility in this either, but you gotta remember, you can only start the events for people in NYC, Tampa, and even Chicago only so early due to the time difference.

I loved doing 3 events last year on Friday, but I will tell you, it was a LONG day!!!

I know why you want to do this, but I want to know what the schedule looks like prior to setting my KDS preferences. That should be a part of the strategy.

Taking this information away is taking away part of the strategy of the game IMO.

I would definitely keep all leagues with the same schedule, regardless. This way the #13 draft slot in all leagues plays the same schedule and so on.

Question, does Greg put all of these suggestions onto a ballot and email them to this year's participants for a vote? To me, that seems fair. Maybe with a minimum # of yes' to make the change?!

There is no way any of us have the same vision for the contest they do.
