This is an even simpler way. Teams qualify for playoffs as follows:
1) H2H
2) points
3) points
Just like Primetime and Classic.

Of the 3 qualifying teams league prizes are paid as follows

$4000 highest points
$2000 next highest points
$500 next highest points

This way we keep the H2H winner the same as we've always done yet we reward the highest scoring teams of the playoff qualifyers in the order of points scored. Is this doable? No resets or playoffs for leagues prizes in this structure.

The initial intent of the playoff format here was to end the regular season after 13 weeks, pay the highest point teams the most money and to limit the number of Championship Round teams.

I think this plan is a better format, with one addition. I think we should add the 15% Wild Card rule to make sure that good teams aren't left out of the Championship Round if they are in a loaded league. We didn't have that rule in place this year and two teams were left out of the Championship Round that would have been in there.

So the biggest question here is whether the third highest points team should be allowed into the Championship Round if it has more points than the h2h champion. If so, this would have added ELEVEN more teams. If not, we again leave out a possibly worthy team, but at least that team did get paid prize money ($500).

It's a worthy discussion. Thanks for the input here Jeff.

The last 2 posts missed an important aspect of the Route C proposal. The 3rd place pts team in each league would not necessarily get league prize money. The league prize money would be awarded to the 3 qualifiers (H2H and next 2 in pts) in the order of how just those 3 teams finished in pts. The H2H champion could be 8th in pts and they would get 3rd place league money. It has merit as presented.

No idea this stupid rule was in place until I checked league to see I was out of the money.

Ouch KJ! That sucks.

I just read this entire thread again and I agree with what everyone has said. I actually missed the Silver Bullet this year but will probably play next. I"ll let others figure out the prize money but H2H can't be 3rd on the list as to how you qualify.
