NFFC Message Boards

I really think that each league should have a playoff (starting next season) at the end of the season just like the auction leagues. Top three record and points make the playoffs. The same selection criteria is used after week 13 to see who is in the NFFC race for the title. The individual league playoffs occur simultaneously with the NFFC chase. The winner of the playoffs get the 2,500 that now goes to the winner of best record vs. most points.

That does nothing to limit the number of teams who quit - they aren't making the top six either way.

After week 13, the best record and points make the OVERALL playoffs (just like it is now). The six team H2H LEAGUE playoffs occur while the top two teams are in the OVERALL points chase.

But, I am 7th in the points....still a fighting chance! I am just suggesting it will limit the drop-outs and make the last part of the season more exciting for a lot of teams. Nothing can prevent owners from quiting altogether.

[/QUOTE]OK, so 2 teams are in the championship round, and 6 in the league playoffs.

Still doesn't solve the problem as that still leaves SIX bottom teams.

I guarantee that 99% of the teams that quit" are still in this bottom six.

All I am saying is lets keep as many 19 year old women from committing suicide as possible. OK...perhaps that was too dramatic and way, way off topic. But, you get my point....better to have less teams that quit and those that do doing so in week 12 or 13 as opposed to week 6 and 7.

Maybe the title should have been "A method to stop stupid people from quiting when their in Second place!"

How about this. Announce the names of the quitters at the "08" draft ... and have them ware a BIG "L" on their forehead (or a "Dolphins" jersey) at next years draft. I don't want to get rid of quitters (donater's), I just think we should get to torment them a little.

How about this?

Instead of the top 2 teams competing for a $2500 league title...Make it for $2000.

Then, have the rest of each league(not in the 100K playoffs) have some sort of playoff for $500. Something that would include their weekly avg. during the season. This would help make sure everyone starts the best possible lineup every week.

I'm not sure you guys understand. People quit high school, college, marriages, pregnancies, etc...

Quitting on your team comes pretty low on the ladder.

Yeah...and how 'bout those people who quit smoking and start preaching to everyone who lights up...and these morons who quit drinking and sit there sipping O'Douls at the club...or the low-lifes who quit shooting heroin and start toting a bible at you...and those idiots on Seinfeld who quit masterba...ah no, they went back.

Like I always say...Quitters never lose, and losers never quit. Imagine anyone writing a post like this if people quit growing marijuana?
