Our total pot is $250. If you're saying the pot will be split in half first based on regular season & playoffs, and then divided up further from there, you'll have a scenario where the winner of the playoffs will get all of like $60-75 after paying $25 to be in the league.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I'm not sure I understand why that would be unfair. Are you suggesting the winner of the playoffs should get a lot more money than the points total winner?
If we go under the assumption that in almost all cases, the team with the highest point total is the actual "best" team, and that the playoffs are, at best, random and unfair, why shouldn't the person who puts together the best team be rewarded?
I guess it's a matter of opinion. I think the team with the most points at the end of the year deserves more reward than the team that wins the super bowl, simply because the super bowl tends to be far more arbitrary. PCB had the EIGHTH best team in the league, and has a 50/50 shot to be in the super bowl. It's great that he has that chance, but I don't know that we should be showering him with money because of quirks of scheduling.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
