I have nothing to do with this league, but just a question:
Are there leagues where the team with the highest regular season *point total* gets a payout? I'm in a couple leagues, and we pay out to the regular season *best record,* but not highest points. Is that abnormal? Heck, in one league I had the highest points, but finished in 4th place. Maybe I should be asking for some cash.

Read the last couple of pages. BT says some of his leagues are that way. I've never played in any like that before.

When our league started way back in 89 or so, we didn't even play head to head games. It was totally based on points. Later we added in head to head, but in the other 4 leagues I am in, the point leader gets cash, to varying degrees.
Ace, your example is exactly why I would never vote for best record getting $$. Since record is really a result of who you play, rather than how you do, that factor is rewarded by the Super Bowl winner getting cash. I would suggest that in your league, you probably had the best team, but since your schedule didn't work in your favor, you win nothing. In a choice between best record getting $$, or the playoff victors getting everything, I'd choose the latter.
In the two other leagues I ended up with the most and second most points, I ended up .500 in both leagues, because of my schedule. So it's not unusual. But I will get rewarded for having a good team as long as I continue scoring points through the end of the year.
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.

Just accumulating points is boring. This is Bz.

The league championship game is coming down to Adrian Peterson against the hometown Bears. PcB needs AP to score 18 points to win the league outright and 17 for a tie. Cigar is hoping the Chicago D can hold AP down. It is also quite possible that the Vikings bench AP early in a blow out. Should be an interesting game.
Barring a huge performance from my Vikings defense, Chitown will finish in the money at third place.
I plan to mail out checks to the winners. So PM me you mailing address or post it here.
1st: $150
2nd: $75
3rd: $25

I'm really hoping the Bears keep this thing close. I need about 120 yards and a TD from AP to take it.
Good luck tonight Cigar, may the best team win.

Congrats PCB.
Now we have to figure out the rules for next year so an 8th place team never wins the super bowl again. We also should probably do it while things are still fresh in our heads.

+1
I'll get the ball rolling. Lets get some feedback.
Proposal #1: 6 team playoff with the top 2 teams getting a bye.
Proposal #2: Payout as follows: 20% to top overall points through playoffs; 50% to Playoff Winner; 20% to Playoff Runner-Up; 10% to Playoff 3rd Place
Proposal #3: Increase entry fee to $40
Proposal #4: Add Special Teams to the Defense position.
Proposal #5: Add two additional teams.

I'm fine with all of those.
Also, did we ever decide how many keepers we are keeping?

If we did I don't remember. I'm still not entirely sure how we are going to handle an online draft with Keepers. I suppose we could utilite the Batcave, but that is not ideal in my opinion.

It shouldn't be that hard. When people come to the round in which they saved a guy, that guy has to be taken by them. The commissioner should be able to assign those picks if he has to.

if we go to 12 teams, what do you guys think about divisions? maybe 3 divisions, with the 3 div winners going to the playoffs, and 3 wildcard teams?
