Greg,
also, any thought to bumping up the scoring people take from the regular season to the playoffs from 1x to 2x? i really think the regular season needs to weigh in a little more significantly.
2x would be WAY too much power given to the individual league races and then I'd hear about that. 1x has provided some great drama in the Championship Round the last few years, with so many teams in line for the $100,000 grand prize. I'm not so sure that's a bad thing.
Honestly, I think the concept that all you have to do is finish first or second in your league (easier said than done, I realize) and then you have a 1 in 55 or 1 in 57 or whatever the number ends up being of winning $100,000 is the appealing aspect of this contest. And everyone almost starts anew, with the shot of getting hot for three weeks and winning the grand prize. The 1x doesn't give a big advantage to those owners who dominated during the regular season, but as Josh Ferenc proved in 2006 it does give you just enough of an edge to win the $100,000.
I understand how some folks feel that teams that dominate from Weeks 1-13 deserve a greater edge, but should that be done at the expense of the $100,000 grand prize? If they are that dominant, then dominating in Weeks 14-16 can happen too with the small advantage they take in from the first 13 weeks. Just my opinion, for what it's worth.
