The National Fantasy Football Championship will create a Lifetime Standings link for all returning members to the main event, but I haven't finalized the scoring method yet. Basically, the goal is to reward returning members and to determine over the years who is the best fantasy football player in our scoring system.

Please let me know which scoring method you think best represents Lifetime Standings:

1) An accumulation of total points from Weeks 1 through 16 each year. This year's Lifetime Standings would begin with your total points from 2004 and add to it each week this year. By year's end, we'd have the Lifetime Standings leader after two seasons.

2) Your ranking from total points of previous seasons. Thus if you finished 121st in points last year, you would start this year with 121 rank points. You'd add your total rank points at the end of each year to determine your standing in the Lifetime rankings.

Those are two options. Provide more if you can think of any. We will have the Lifetime Standings active for the start of the 2005 season and recognize our leaders going forward. Eventually we'll have 2-year averages or allow owners to drop one bad year's total or something to make sure all returning members are eligible to compete in these Lifetime Standings.

Thanks for any input you can give us and good luck to all returning members from 2004.

total points is the fairest way. thanks for getting this started.

I agree with Gekko on this one (did I say that out loud? )

Total points is the fairest way to determine the rankings.

Total Points. Is it Labor Day weekend yet?

Greg,

Can this be done for the Auction and Draft Champions, too?

Thanks,
Mark

It CERTAINLY can be done for the Draft Champions League as we take total points for 16 weeks. The Auction League is tougher because we end scoring for all teams after 13 weeks, as only the playoff teams make it to Weeks 14 and beyond. Let me think about that for a bit. I don't like just showing total points for 13 weeks because it would be like having an all-time regular season record list for NFL teams without showing who won the Super Bowls. But we'll figure something out.

I agree, Total Points is the best way for the NFFC's main event. We'll have that ready for you before Draft Day. Thanks everyone.

Total Points. Definitely....I wouldn't let anyone drop their worst season though. Let the numbers do the talking.

Total Points as is.

here's another vote for TOTAL POINTS... followed by a vote for AVERAGE POINTS per SEASON. finally , TOTAL WINS and WIN %.

Here's an update on the Lifetime Standings: STATS will create a link to this soon that lists all 2004 teams and their point totals from Weeks 1 through 16. Obviously those are slightly different from your regular season scores and your playoff totals because your weekly scoring average was included in your playoff total. Look for those soon as STATS has a little programming work to do on this yet.

Once we have filled up the 2005 field, STATS will take out the teams that didn't return from this listing. We'll then add your point totals each week during 2005 to this total and continue to update the Lifetime Standings after each week's action. We'll figure out something cool to give the Lifetime STandings leader after 2005 is complete.

After Year Two, we'll likely create a yearly scoring average for every participate and add in teams that have participated in multiple seasons, even if they weren't on board in 2004. We'll have some designation of those teams, but this should still work. As we get deeper in the seasons, maybe we'll allow teams to throw out their lowest scoring season or something like that.

It's a work in progress, but look for the updated Lifetime Standings here soon.
