Guys we hope we are full at 14 - (checking my mail for two checks)
BnB will set up the league on MFL.com where we will DRAFT ..... probably mid-week so look for an email in your box with more information
And just so you know, MFL will just track total points (as a free mock draft league) BUT we will use All-Play for H2H and post the results each week. So top three teams in total points for first 13 weeks will go into the playoffs along with the top H2H team not already qualified. So four teams in Weeks 14/15/16 for the Championship (my thoughts anyway will have to discuss with Bass)

Loaded in scoring this morning. Added pts for 2 pt conversions. to the list above.
Changed this from 18 to 20 rounds to reflect the 2013 rule change that didn't get captured here.

THANKS to Bass for the work getting set up on MFL
THIS draft should be done on MFL - if you can't make a pick/pre-pick there send it to BnB or to me
We can post them here BUT the draft will be much faster if MFL is primary draft spot

In the emai, there is a link to the site. Under that link there is a link to change your password. Click that and you can change it and login. Not very intuitive.

Hello fellow Reunion Leaguers,
I've had a helluva last few weeks. When it comes to things involving large amounts of money and attention to detail, I'm neurotic to the point of it being ridiculous. I've been researching a new vehicle purchase for the better part of the last 6 weeks, this last several days being the negotiating phase, which involved all 12 of the GMC dealerships in Maryland. Friday, I whittled it down to 4, and decided between the final 2 this afternoon. Pretty much everything has taken a backseat to this endeavor in the meantime. It's quite likely that the ones that didn't make the cut were actually relieved to be rid of me...
...but I did negotiate a helluva deal, if I do say so myself, so there is that.
As a result, today was the first time I've looked at the Votes posted at the mfl site. I voted in the two that were still open, but apparently the one involving the size of the Playoff field had closed before I ever saw it.
Even though that's apparently been resolved, I'd like to offer a suggestion I'd have made, had I been paying more attention to such things. I made this suggestion years ago in a large-format League (12+ Teams), and it worked out so well, it's been accepted on my suggestion in every large-format League with a Playoffs that I've been involved in since.
Basically, it started with my feeling that a Playoff Bye is a coveted privilege, and while there seems to always be a definitive way to identify the 'true one best overall Team' in a given League, usually it seems that no matter how you define it, the Team awarded that second Bye winds up being one of at least a few worthy contenders. So I proposed a 7-Team Playoff Field, where only the 'one true best overall Team' received the coveted Bye, and all other Teams had to play a full slate of games to win the Championship.
Round 1: 2 v 7 / 3 v 6 / 4 v 5, Round 2: 1 v lowest remaining Seed / other 2 remaining Teams v each other, Championship Round: final 2 Teams...
In all the Leagues I've ever been in, Leagues of 12 Teams or less have had 4 or 6 Playoff Teams, and everyone seems pretty happy with that, but when a League swells to 14 or 16 or more, I seem to always hear folks debating whether 6 Teams is not enough, or 8 Teams is too many. Seven is a convenient compromise, and best of all, IMHO, awards the privilege of the bye to the one Team that unquestionably deserves it.
Sorry I wasn't able to bring this up for discussion earlier. Don't know if it makes any difference, but figured maybe it's something some of you could use elsewhere, at least, if not here.

Vote was
2: 0 4: 2 6: 5 8: 1 A clear majority of the votes with the next favorite option being two less playoff teams.
I'm not a voter, but think the option where byes are awarded to top all play team and top total points team should be pretty fair. Actually all six via all play will likely result in the top 4-5 highest total points teams being included in the playoffs.
I suspect votes will be more split this time so if there's not a clear consensus, I'll set up another round of polls with just two options representing the prevailing attitudes of the league owners.
Congrats on your car.

Like MOP says, everyone loves their team after three rounds...
Manning
Stacy
Gronk
We feel like we got the top QB and top TE. Stacy was a welcome surprise at 3.12 and the last back in that tier for us. Last year Manning/Graham, a late hit on Allen, and a bunch of garbage carried us to the playoffs.

While I don't like the shared bye, I think both packers should have good years. Went for older but safe plays at receiver.

13 week regular season, all play each week.
Seed 1 - best all play record
Seed 2 - 2nd best all play record
Seed 3 - 3rd best all play record
Seed 4 - 4th best all play record
Seed 5 - Highest total pts not already in playoffs
Seed 6 - 2nd highest total pts not already in playoffs
1st tiebreaker for seeds 1-4 is total points, 2nd tiebreaker is head to head record, 3rd tiebreaker is winner of head to head in week 13 (descending down in weeks if 4th tiebreak needed).
1st tiebreaker for seeds 5-6 is all play record, 2nd tiebreaker is winner of head to head in week 13 (descending down in weeks if 4th tiebreak needed).
Playoff Format
Week 14 - Seed 3 v. Seed 6, Seed 4 v. Seed 5, Seed 1 and 2 have a bye
Week 15 - Seed 1 v. lowest remaining seed, Seed 2 v. remaining team
Week 16 - Winners from week 15
During the playoffs, the tiebreak will be the highest scoring bench player/defense. Keep repeating if needed until tie is broken.
Let me know if I missed anything.

New League Poll
LEAGUE PAYOUT AMOUNTS Pay 1 $350 Pay 2 $250 / $100 Pay 4 $200 / $75 / $50 / $25: Narrowing in on this. May re-poll with just two options depending on the results here.
Personally I like at least getting my money back if I finish in the top 2 during the regular season and I like a 3rd/4th consolation game that means something. I kind of figure the money earmarked for 3rd/4th is usually the fee to the scoring host anyway so it's really not coming out of the top teams pocket so to speak.

Great job on league setup
As far as payouts I would like all the money to go to the teams in the Championship Game

Very evenly divided right now. Probably going to depend on where the two "pay 3" votes move to and if Hell Toupee shows up to vote this time.
I wouldn't mind paying the top two regular season teams some small coin and then the rest being earmarked for the championship game. Obviously the two championship game teams could also win the regular season money.

The regular season should mean something.
55 to the top point scorer
55 to the best record
Rest to the super bowl teams, 2:1 (something like 160 / 80)
