Cutline playoff standings

[Old School]

This is really a great contest. I could see it easily growing to 3,500-4,000 teams next year.

Low price point and LIMITED FAAB on Fridays is a double winner in my book. Would love to see this go to a 12 team format and have longer than a 9 week regular season next year, but either way, I'll be back.

Good luck to everyone in the playoffs, as with no more FAAB, it is going to get interesting as the injuries continue to mount.

....12 team would be nice, but ok with 10. Biggest thing I'd like to see is a slightly longer regular season. Couple of my teams that didnt make it are stronger than the few that made to champ round, due to slow start

We definitely will ask about the regular season format going forward. We could go 11 weeks, but then Week 12 alone becomes a problem due to all of the bye teams. We just didn't feel it would be fair to play 11 weeks of the regular season and begin the survivor portion of the playoffs during a week in which 6 teams are on bye. I can't imagine playing for the big bucks at stake with six teams on bye. That wouldn't be fair.

So how do we deal with that if we do go 11 weeks of a regular season? The regular season format would be easy with two All-Play weeks to start the season and I do think a weekly cutline is more interesting than a 3-week cutline, but Week 12 is a concern for me.

Thoughts?

I would be all for whatever is best for the contest. If that means a 10, 11 or 12 week regular season and a cut week with byes mixed in, so be it. You'll know that in advance before you draft and as you do adds/drops so you can prepare for it or all around avoid guys who are on bye during a cut week, just more strategy really. I personally enjoy the cut line parts of the contest so I'd probably vote to have a 10 or 11 week regular season (all play weeks for the extra games) then each week be a cut week. I like lots of cut line excitement

We have 12 team and 14 team contests so the 10 team is a nice change of pace. I do think however that with a short regular season, less Free Agency opportunities, and multiple teams (6) on byes during weeks 8 and 9 that head to head should be dropped and we use only total points to determine standings.

If it remains as a 9 week regular season, I totally agree with this.

I personally would make the regular season as long as the bye weeks exist, and then start the cutline process. You could easily do this with the beginning weeks being "all play" which in reality is similar to total points.

A win-win IMO.

Hopefully the NFL doesn't extend bye weeks into weeks 13 and beyond, but honestly, who knows what they will do?
