Instead of these threads where it's just constant arguing, I was thinking it might be more pro-active to have one thread, with no flaming, where people can bring up changes, for next year. Be it the software, the rules, whatever.
So, I propose, a sincere review of the seeding process. Since the seeding process combines most points and best record, I think one small tweak should be made. The top 2 scoring teams, point wise, cannot face each other week 1. It will rarely work out this way, but for the user that gets stuck in this bad situation 8% of the time (the 3 seed), playing a consolation game week 13 that means absolutely nothing, is kind of a slap in the face.
There maybe a better way to do this, but the top 2 scoring teams should never face each in the first week of the league playoffs. Right now, that is possible, and it will happen to some people again this year.
Second, I propose that fumbles LOST should be counted as minus 2 points. Not all fumbles, only the ones where the other team recovers. If the defense scores points for recovering the fumble, the player that lost the fumble should be penalized.
Now, I am not going to argue with anyone about the rules, flawed as I believe they are, I entered this contest aware of all of this. I am not asking that anything be changed this year.
All I am asking is a flame free discussion where players can discuss how we think this contest could be improved.
Thanks.
