it's still full. anyway here's the message:Originally Posted by Morrison
You have qualified for the consolation tournament. Winner of the bracket gets to choose their draft spot next year. I have modified the matchups to follow a fixed-bracket format, like this:
1 Caito
8 Expendables
4 Torn
5 Fro
3 Essex
6 Dabritz
2 Dick City
7 Immunization
Caito finished 7th (first team out of the playoffs) so he is the 1 seed, and so on.
Congrats to those who earned playoff berths including Chris Scott who won the $100 regular season championship and BGMaverick who won the $50 prize for having the highest single-week score of the season (129.42 points - Week 9)
Chris Scott vs BGMaverick in the Championship match for $400 (loser gets $100).
Honey Badger vs BBF for the third place prize of $50.
Torn vs @Matthew in the Consolation Championship match for the right to pick their draft spot next season.
Good luck.
Congrats to BGMaverick on his 2nd championship!
All winnings have been paid out. I'll update my spreadsheets with the league history and total winnings & W-L records at some point here in the offseason. Good season, gents.
Note: the 3rd place prize was affected by the cancelled Bengals/Bills game, and HB and BBF agreed to donate the $50 to the Damar Hamlin Toy Drive Fund ("The Chasing M's Foundation Community Toy Drive").
Chris Scott also donated $50 of his winnings to the same fund.
Major props for that.
Matthew got the choose his draft spot because he won the consolation bracket. He chose the 7th pick. Here is the draft order:
1. Chris Scott
2. Morrison
3. Pabs
4. Kdestiny
5. MMH
6. Torn
7. Matthew
8. BGMaverick
9. Caito
10. BBF
11. Honey Badger
12. Alex
13. Beefy
14. Fro
Rule changes:
-I added a second flex, and removed a bench spot (bench is now at 4, with 2 IR). Smaller bench means you need to be a little more mindful of your players' bye weeks, but since we don't have kickers or D/ST it shouldn't be too hard to manage.
-Single week high score ($50 payout) now applies through the playoffs (previously I had it as regular season only).
- I added a 1-point bonus for 100 yard rushers (and you get another point if you go over 200 yards).

Also another general comment about bench size:
We have the 2 IR spots which is good, but if you use those up on guys that are truly on long-term IR then you lose flexibility for your guys who are questionable and might be game-day scratches. In other words, if you have your 2 IR spots filled going into a sunday, then that's on you. Manage your roster based on the fact that we now have a 4-player bench.
but it should be fun to get another man on the field via the 2nd flex spot.
Fixed.
Also, fun...as long as it wasn't a kicker or DST.
im all for more parity when it comes to league standings and more opportunities for teams to move up and down the rankings, but this idea of bonus wins and losses ain't it. if im a low scoring team that manages to win my head to heads, i still get screwed with a loss every week, meaning when/if i take a head to head loss, if i didn't manage to break top 7 in scoring, i'm now two games below .500 despite losing only one game in the season.
might be one thing to give extra wins to a weeks top scorers and no additional losses handed out, but then we just run into the issue that the top heavy teams are just going to get their record padded and be harder to catch.
with the vote currently at 5-2 against the idea, it is highly unlikely to pass.
I'm in favor of it but I'm not going to force it on the league. it just removes some randomness but i get why the randomness is fun
i think it removes randomness in that the head to head isn't the be all, end all, but then adds a brand new layer of randomness where you end up with a losing record despite winning the majority of your games.
finding a way for lower ranked teams to still feel like they have a chance at making something of the season would be great, though. at the moment ya can only really hope to do that by making trades, and as trade happy as the league can be, it can be hard to get actual fair value to even out a badly performing team.
