One small comment/question regarding the playoffs.

Will there be the same sort of playoff for third? I believe that after the top two then the next two in line should be playing for the 3rd position.

Thoughts? not a bad suggestion. it keeps more teams involved. may be tough trying to explain all the different league playoff/payout scenarios...

#1 $2,500 to team with best H2H Record

#2 $2,500 to team with most points (can be same team as #1)

#3 if team #1 and team #2 are different teams, a three-week playoff between team #1 and team #2 for additional $2,500. if team #1 and team #2 are the same team, then the remaining team with the most points automatically earns $2,500

#4 remaining team with the best record and remaining team with the most points in a three-week playoff for $1,000. if the same team has the best record and most points, they automatically earn the $1,000 [/QUOTE]Great idea and GG's followup was exactly what I thought. I think I'll keep third place as is for now, but this definitely has some merit.

Greg, I took a very quick glance at the rules.... I saw a "2005", when it should have been a "2007". Those are always easy to not see when you've proof read them 47 times. [/QUOTE]Thanks. I'll search and destroy the typo!

the 3-week playoff be best of 3 on w/l or
total points for the 3 weeks? Like Turbough
idea for 3rd place $$ too.

3RR has gone thru the ringer here on the boards
and has a solid concensus now. I'm on board!

Greg- I, for one, applaud the choice of Tampa.
To anyone who thinks this is a boring city,
I'd suggest you are looking in the wrong places.
Will I be the first to participate in three
different NFFC cities (CHI- '04/'05 , LV '06 ,
TSP '07)???
Thanks, Bill/// HHHHHHHHHHMAN83 Total points Bill. Yeah, I was surprised to see you going to Tampa, but that's cool. Someone once told me about Mons Venice!!

But those above allow you to stay on my bar bill this August, so make sure you book that flight to Las Vegas and get on the list before we fill up!!

But no drinks on Friday night!!

I have not posted the Ultimate League rules or the Auction League rules yet or the Draft Champions League rules, but the changes in the main event will follow into those side events. Just an FYI: I did NOT change the playoff format for the auction leagues or the Ultimate Leagues. There was some interest from some owners this year to do a total points format in the playoffs rather than h2h, but in the Ultimate League there were two owners for total points and all the other responses said they loved the h2h format in Weeks 14-16. So I will keep the playoff formats as is for auction leagues and the Ultimate Leagues in 2007. Hope that helps.

Draft: All 26 leagues (or maximum of 32 leagues) will hold their drafts simultaneously at the Flamingo Las Vegas, the Oakbrook Marriott in Chicago, the New York Hilton in New York and the Tampa Convention Center on Saturday, Sept. 1, 2007. Each league will be comprised of 14 teams, and each draft will last for 18 rounds, with each team selecting a player in each round in a serpentine fashion (team 1 through team 14 in Round 1 and team 14 through team 1 in Round 2). All NFFC draft leagues will use 3RR (3rd Round Reversal) in 2007, meaning that the draft order will go back down to 14 to start Round 3 and then continue in serpentine fashion after that. The NFFC is using 3RR starting in 2007 to balance the talent pool throughout these 14-team leagues.

.
3RR is when the 3rd round begins with team #14 drafting first, instead of team #1. The rest of the draft remains the same. Draft order would be
1st 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14
2nd 14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
3rd 14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
4th 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14
etc,etc,etc.

So basically the draft order is the same for the 2nd round and the 3rd. BTW, I sure hope you are aware you're name is spelled wrong if you are indeed using the moniker of the so-called prophet.

question on league playoffs. if head to head champ and most points champ square off for 3 weeks for an additional 2500.00 no. 1, in week 14 i assume that the 2 teams will use weekly averages to begin week 14 with.

2nd question, 3rd place for individual league most points not including league champ can someone explain is that up to week 13? there is no additional playoff between 3rd and 4th in total points for that 3rd place prize, it's just who has next best total points after total points league champ after week 13?
