I was thinking of this with a different angle.
When do you bring your A-GAME the most?
I'd say the Main event trumps all for bringing your best game/draft/plan...because there is the most to win/fame etc.
BUT...If I were playing in the main event AND the Ultimate...and the Ultimate was drafted AFTER the main event...I may save my best game for the Ultimate.
Just an angle to think about. Satellites, magazine and side leagues RARELY IF EVER get a players best effort...it's part of the posturing/bluffing involved in fantasy sports.

Could we get one of the "big" names that carry so much more weight around here than everyone else, to please ask that the 500 and 250 sat leagues don't have money taken away from the payout pool.
Now that they have made the $100 leagues a better payout % than the $500 leagues, (unheard of anywhere in fantasy sports) it would really be nice if one of the big names could have that rule changed. That's what is important, not some dumb list.
For the purse to take a big hit in those leagues "due to growth" is totally unacceptable in my book.
Growth equates to better purses not less.
(Fantasy players know their guzzintoos.)
If we get less money as the event grows, then I am 100% against all future growth. I'm not playing for "fame" like Rob Z. or Gekko. I'm playing for cash. Payout matters to me, not being plastered on a magazine as the payout % plummets.
If Billy/GG or Lumpy's would suggest that (what's only fair) instead of concentrating on what they feel will help them most, that would be a step in the right direction.
It would get taken care of in a heartbeat.
They would not get the answer about "growth" being the culprit. (like I did) I'd bet money on that.
And I don't think they would be told that they should be happy with the 6.5 times entry, when it is 6.9(?) for the 100 leagues and 6.3 for the 500 and 250s.
This is the only event I've ever been involved in that the purse has shrunk and the purse% has shrunk. Due to "growth" or otherwise.
Sorry for the rant. But after not having a clue where we were going to play last year till the final second, we had it mapped out already for next year. Then we find that 3 of the leagues we had planned on entering, got butchered.
Now we are back to square one. Just like last year.
Maybe we'll enter 5 100 leagues since the payout is so much better than 1 500 league.
That is of course, unless Billy or Gekko complain about it. It would be taken care of so fast your head would spin.
Playoff for 3rd is an obvious must change. But since it wasn't one of the teacher's pets that suggested it, it will be considered for 2008.
Billy mentions it, and it goes retroactive to last year. If these guys are going to run the asylum, then they should start making decent suggestions that do more than just improve their lot.
KJ - a 250 league should be worth more than a 100 league. Please don't fall into the "less is more" trap.
Winning a 250 league should be worth more 3rd in a 500 league don't you think?
The way you have it 3rd in a 100 league is worth the same as 2nd in a 250 league.

May I ask what I have asked for that would benefit me????
I don't always agree with everything (who does?), but I have been on the "good side" and "bad side" enough times to realize that now I just "roll with it".
Unless you have a specific accusation of how I try to make things better for my benefit, it might be a good idea to just stop talking. :rolleyes:

Again :sound Advice", what did I mention that went retroactive to last year????
It sounds like you have a personal beef with me. If so, PM me, and we can discuss it. Honestly, your accusations and overall "jumping around" make ZERO sense to me.

News alert: while for many of us this is a fun and rewarding pasttime, for F&W Publications this is a business. Even with the reduction in 250/500 satellite money, the NFFC payout percentage is still significantly higher than the other high-stakes events.
Your options at this point are: (1) suck it up or (2) don't participate.
