How sweet would it be if it was Tom?!? I would pee my little chonees if I got a chance to draft against him. Tomas is, in my eyes, the most consistently right on of all the experts whose prognostications I come across. I'm already pumped as it is, just eyeballing the owner list as it presently stands, leaves no doubt, that this is going to be serious business. I think the message board regulars who are involved in these high-level satellites, (3CC, Snake Classic, Billy Waz Memorial, Gekko Invitational, N.Y. vs Chicago Grudge Match), are going to be very well prepared heading into their Main Event drafts.

My playoff suggestion is this:
14 week regular season - 4 teams make the playoffs
Top seed - H2H record
Second seed - high points
Third seed - next high points
Forth seed - next high points
Week 15
1 VS 4
2 VS 3
Week 16
Winners VS for 1st and 2nd place money
Losers VS for 3rd place money
I'd like to see H2H mean something in this league since we will all likely get a rush out of pounding our opponants on a weekly basis. It adds a little drama if each weeks H2H matchups actually count for something other than another sum of points to add to the grand total IMO. Not sure how you would do a 14 team week H2H schedule as everyone would have to play someone TWICE.
You almost have to go with an "auction format" where best H2H and best total points get the byes in Week 14, and the next FOUR total points get in the playoffs with 3 vs 6 and 4 vs 5. Lowest seed plays best total points (since that is the #1 seed in this league) and highest wining seed plays best H2H in Week 15.
Winners of those games square off.
Actually the way Snake has it set up, who gets 3rd place money??? The most points loser in Week 15?? The 2 losers in week 15 could face off in 16 to settle the 3rd place $$ (that is how it is done in the auction).
You could do straight points through Week 16. It takes away from the "head to head", but otherwise, you may have a tough time appeaing to everyone on this one Snake, unless you do it like the auction (which I believe would change your original rules).

Johnny I KNEW Johnny was going to bring this up!
I'm all for it also. I don't want to wait until August, as there is already enough going on that month.

and team B just happens to be playing a "stronger team". Just think you may be opening a can of worms.
Just my opinion.
