Alex, how is the seeding done? Is #1 seed the highest scoring team or the top W-L record team?

 

[Alex - FFPC]

At the conclusion of Week 11, four teams in each league will advance to a two-week head-to-head League Playoff in Weeks 12 & 13 and will play for league prizes and one berth to the Championship Round.

These four teams will be:

# Seed 1 - the team with the best regular season record

# Seed 2 - the remaining team with the highest point total during the regular season

# Seed 3 - the remaining team with the best regular season record

# Seed 4 - the remaining team with the highest point total during the regular season

These teams will be assigned as Seed 1, Seed 2, Seed 3 and Seed 4.

If there is a tie between two or more teams for best win/loss record or total regular season points at the conclusion of the regular season, the following tiebreakers will be used in order from 1 to 4 to determine playoff participants:

1. Total points during the regular season

2. Head-to-head win/loss record

3. Total starting QB points Week 1 through Week 11

4. Coin toss

I need to speak with my league commissioner immediately, no one is responding to any of my emails.I'm tied at 8-3 for the Division Winner, however the team I am tied with is the overall point champion in our division. Shouldn't he be awarded the point championship and my team the division championship? This is the only fair and logical way to allocate the prizes.

If I knew your league number, I can give you the answer. The playoff seedings are being worked on as we speak and should be done soon. To see the playoff matchups please go to League --> Schedule. You will see the 1-seed scheduled to play the 4-seed and the 2-seed scheduled to play the 3-seed.

How does that take into consideration a tie for the league division best record, when one of the owners has not only the best record, but the most points. He should be awarded the top point winner, and my team should be the division winner. Why would someone with the second most amount of points be the #2 seed?

I don't think you are interpreting the seeding format correctly. Please read it again below. The 1-seed is the team with the best H2H record, with points being the tie-breaker between teams. Since you and NY AIR 5 are tied for best record, he wins the tie-breaker with more points. Once the 1-seed is determined, then the 2-seed is the remaining team with the highest point total during the regular season. Then the 3-seed is the remaining best record, which is you.

I understand the guidelines listed below, but NY Air is also the League's highest point getter. So how do you determine whether he is awarded the highest point winner or division winner? He should be one or the other, and being the Division winner in this case isn't too fair considering there is a tie for that title. However, there is no tie in the point winner, he is clearly the point winner.

As always, the 1-seed is determined first, then the 2 seed, followed by the 3 and then the 4. The 1-seed is the team with best record, which is NY AIR 5. The next REMAINING team with the most points is the 2-seed. Your team is then the remaining best record which is the 3 seed.I cannot explain is any better than this. Hope it clears it up for you.

 

[eddietoca]

You're not understanding that there's a tie for head to head record, at 8-3. Therefore, him and I have the best record at 8-3. Why is he awarded the best record, and not the highest point winner?You need to resolve this issue for next season, this is ridiculous logic which does not take into consideration all tie breaker situations.If I'm tied for the best record at 8-3 with NY Air who is 8-3 as well, I understand that the point differential between us should determine who wins the division, however NY AIR is also the league's point leader. So why should the # 2 point leader in the league, be rewarded the #2 seed in this case? It makes no sense at all to reward the second highest point getter with the #2 seed.

First paragraph - He has the tiebreaker on you for best record, as well as first in points. The #1 seed is to the best record and is assigned first. He is awarded best record because that is #1 seed and not highest points, because that is #2 seed.Second paragraph - There is nothing to resolve. The seeding was very clearly laid out before the season. While the setup may sting some people, the system did not change at all from day 1.Third paragraph - Again, this is completely laid out in the rules. Why should the rules change just for your league after the entire season has been played out, just so you can get a top 2 spot?Now changing the seeding system after the season started, that would make no sense.P.S. You should try reading some Don T rants. You're being too nice here.

Well anyway, good luck to everyone in the playoffs!

Man I loved the Don T rants those were the best.Nothing like those in this contest I missed them they were really enjoyable reading

The rules that determine the playoffs are clear. They were posted before we all drafted. If you didn't like the way the playoffs were determined, then you should have done at least 1 of 2 things, maybe both. 1, not joined a league, and/or 2 brought this up before you put your money down and drafted a team.

That's the way its done here, those are the rules. There are many formats and websites available for Fantasy Football leagues. You many not like all of them.

Thank you.

In my opinion total fantasy points is more determinate of who is a good fantasy football player, and who drafted a good fantasy football team. Head to Head record is less representative. But, a good portion of the weekly fun is that head to head match up. So using both is great.

I'm in a league where the #3 playoff seed scored 1328 points in the regular season and made the playoffs (8-3 record) over a team that scored 1569 points!

Yes I know rules are rules etc, but I'm hoping this is revised next season. If you want to award the #1 seed to the top record fine, but it should stop there. The above example is a perfect reason why. Rewarding a team that obviously got extremely lucky with points against does nothing for the contest.

Just a thought for NEXT YEAR.

1569 was third? (or fourth) in your league in points???

Here is how the top 5 finished in the standings, record with total points.

9-2 (1547) 1st seed

8-3 (1328) 3rd seed (11th in total points in the league)

7-4 (1622) 2nd seed

7-4 (1569)

6-5 (1575) 4th seed

The only way for the above to happen for that 2nd team is PURE LUCK. Why would any national contest want to reward that? Just pointing out something that hopefully is addressed next season.

(Full Disclosure: My team is not any of the above. I was 4-7 (1516) )

The 1st seed should be kicked out of the playoffs too. That looks like too much luck also.

 

[VikesFan40]

In a standard H2H league, points wouldn't be taken into account until tiebreakers. So, if you scored the most points in the league and finished 4-7 and out of the playoffs, you would have nothing. At least this league offers the possibility of playoffs for those teams that were not lucky.

I know, in 2 leagues, I was first or second in points almost the whole year. The records? 5-6 and 4-7. I lost out on the playoffs after both teams decided to only put up under 110... In any other league, though, I would have been out of it long before that.

Our format rewards H2H and Total Points. Is there luck involved in H2H? Of course - but that's fantasy football. H2H competition is what creates excitement and weekly drama. Most people don't want to play in strictly Total Points leagues.With that said, this specific league you are showing IS very much an anomaly. In 95% of the FPC leagues, the team 3rd in total points qualified for the League Playoffs as either the 1, 3 or 4 seed.
