JMO. Like I have been saying all along. You give a seprate H2H prize and the league championship is Total points. Or you can have the top six breakdowns go into a playoff.


Anyways, The H2H won't change. The best im praying for is Greg will add a 3rd team to the main event playoff. 1st total points, 2nd in Total points and the H2H winner.

The bigger issue IMO is getting H2H lges to use all-play records in some capacity in place of total points because being good every week is "supposed" to determine winners in these leagues.

[/QUOTE]Johnny, curious why you wouldn't use all-play records rather than total pts?

How about this to determine main event league champions?

#1 seed - Best H2H record
#2 seed - Most points
#3 seed - Best all-play record

Have the 3-week points playoff among these teams for all league payouts (championship, 2nd & 3rd). I also would have all three of these teams making the overall championship round.

JMO. John - I'm strictly taking about using all-play in Draft Champion leagues, as opposed to total points. Thoughts?
Is my "weekend warrior" prep better than your prep?

Would that change anything? I don't have any data on that one. LOL.

3-week points playoff for the lge championship, second place and third place lge payouts? Works for me. Anything to help take down the H2H. I love that Greg put in the playoff but there is still always better teams being left out. Or the fact that the H2H guy is still getting a shot at a gift.

2. There has been a suggestion to allow official scoring changes past Wednesday at noon EST. For whatever reason, Elias does make changes on Thursday's, so I understand the passion to change the official deadline. That being said, having finality at a reasonable time during the week is also good. Again, I'll listen to the debate and we can make this change soon.Greg, I had some good conversations last month with NFL.com and the Elias Sports Bureau. I have learned that our Wednesday 12pm deadline will almost never incorporate the weekly stat changes -- Elias makes their final weekly revisions on Wednesday afternoon, and then submits these to NFL.com either late Wednesday or early Thursday. To wit, here is a listing of the dates and times that changes were posted in 2007:

Week 2: Thu Sep 20 11:39am
Week 3: Fri Sep 28 5:19am
Week 4: Thu Oct 4 12:20pm
Week 5: Thu Oct 11 12:10pm
Week 6: Thu Oct 18 2:36pm
Week 7: Thu Oct 25 10:36am
Week 8: Thu Nov 1 11:39am
Week 9: Thu Nov 8 10:08am
Week 10: Thu Nov 15 12:19pm
Week 11: Thu Nov 22 2:53am
Week 12: Thu Nov 29 9:56am
Week 13: Thu Dec 6 11:46am
Week 14: Thu Dec 13 12:27pm
Week 15: Thu Dec 20 10:52am
Week 16: Thu Dec 27 1:17pm

I believe based on this information we can come up with an appropriate deadline that will not interfere with free agent pickups or first-game-of-week deadlines. I would propose the following timetable:

Weeks 1-11 (no free agent pickups before Friday 9pm, no early games) -- stat change deadline is Thursday 6pm

Weeks 12-13 (Wednesday free agent pickups, Thursday games) -- stat change deadline is Wednesday 6pm. This will most likely not incorporate all the changes for the week, but is necessary for the early FAAB deadline

Weeks 14-16 (no FAAB, Thursday games each week) -- stat change deadline is Thursday 6pm

In reviewing the weekly changes, most would not be relevant to the NFFC (e.g. 2 players getting 1/2 a sack becomes 1 player getting a whole sack). However, every point can be critical -- I lost by 0.25 in Week 12 in the Ultimate League, and missed the playoffs on a tiebreaker.

Let's try to get this change implemented for 2008.
[/QUOTE]Updated to include the Week 16 stat changes date and time. NFFC-relevant changes this week included:

Brandon Jacobs 145 yards rushing to 143 yards rushing (minus 0.2 points)

Kurt Warner: 361 passing yards to 369 passing yards (plus 0.4 points)

Edgerrin James: 76 yards rushing to 68 yards rushing (minus 0.8 points); 5 receptions for 21 yards to 4 receptions for 29 yards (plus 0.3 points) (net of minus 0.5 points)
