it sucks more and more fun and skill out of this game every year. Hey GG, I honestly don't understand this quote when it comes to the NFFC, so help me along. No matter what your W-L record is in the NFFC, you can still win your league title and the Championship Round by being the best and scoring the most points. So where is the fun being sucked out of this competition?

For instance, if your team really is the best in your league and finishes with the most league points, you still reach your league and overall Championship Round. Yes, you win $2,500 and the h2h champ wins $2,500, but then total points determines the league champ for the remaining $2,500 in Weeks 14-16. So by scoring the most points through 13 weeks and then scoring the most points in Weeks 14-16, you win the whole enchilada, $5,000.

This is a total points league with h2h records. What's the deal? I mean, seriously, if you score the most points -- more than anyone in your league -- you can win all $5,000 of the league prizes. And if you score the most points in the Championship Round, you win the $100,000 grand prize, maybe even twice plus $1 million. What's "unfun" with that?

Oh, and damn I had fun in Arizona.

Skins 13 I'm not trying to convince anyone, I just think total points is still the indicator of the best team in the NFFC and the setup allows that to happen. But without h2h, some teams would be eliminated from league contention much, much sooner than they would in our current format. It's okay to disagree with that, but just a total points league is boring, as is an all-play league format.

I'm on the Steelers too. Should be an interesting game.

maybe you missed one of my later posts about being me very pleased that the nffc has the 10% playoff rule. maybe there will be a groundswelling of support to have a similar rule in the wcoff next year.

all is fine here

Got it now.

We have the proper balance now the way things are. That is my primary point. My secondary point is that the vast majority of fantasy football players in the world like H2H and would bore quickly of a total points only format and it would also lead to more quitter teams.

Are you sure you didn't just mean to speak for all FF player's in the US or North America ... not the Whole world. :rolleyes:

Your gift of knowing what everyone else "in the whole world" thinks continues to amaze me.

First you tell Gekko he is wrong about what he thinks because the data doesn't suport his thoughts.

Then this post:

Why do you try to speak for anyone else ... can't they speak for themselves? And do you have their permission to speak for them? Or would you just assume they would want you to.

Ug

ugly,

You are real bored.

The balance the NFFC has with H2H and total points is fine the way it is.

The end.

Take care
