I am the commissioner in a league that uses decimal point scoring. In 8 years we have neevr had a tie. The rules state that a tie will be decided by taking the points from all the bench players who played in a game and tallying their average vs the other teams' average bench players points. The only players who count towards the average are the ones who play in a game, whether they get a point or not. Personally, I think this is fair. Of course I woudl though, this is my rule. However, when applied after a tie this week, people are up in arms over it, and while stating no alternative, want it voted out for THIS YEAR. My ruling has and will remain that the ruling counts for this year, if it is needed to be changed it will in the off season. Of note, I sent out the league rules with every pre season email (one per month) from April to August, and ask people to discuss rules they don't like and ideas for new rules. As like every year, people ignored it.
The game game down to Dominic Rhodes - who did not record a stat and was initially not included in the average - giving the win to team A. Team B then pointed out that he saw a Dominic Rhodes punt or kick return in the game. Checking NFL.com, I saw it in the play by play results. The fact that he played put him into the player average and Team A is now the loser.
Now team A is claiming they are "being raped without lube and it hurts".
I pretty much told them tough ####.
Am I wrong? Do we have to split hairs here?
