It doesn't bother me. I'm asking if anyone else had something like this happen. That's the point of the post if you happened to read it.I am going to push for a change for next year, though. I spoke with the commissioner and he said the bye idea might be a good format since our league is shrinking in size.
What size is your league?
I don't dispute his championship. He won it fair and square. I would like to see the possibility of a sub .500 team making the playoffs reduced for future years, however. Eight teams out of fourteen making the playoffs was a bit absurd. I guess no one really thought about it. We were more focused on finding a solution for two missing owners (we retracted two teams).
We are 10 years old as well. I believe the best team in our league won it 2-3 times max.
Yeah, I've seen this happen before. This year I was #1 team pretty much all year -- scoring, breakdown, records -- etc. then laid an egg in my first round game and got bounced. That's why we give a portion of the pot to the "regular season champ," so you don't get completely shut out of the payouts. I actually like giving payouts to both regular season champ and playoff champ because while you want to reward consistency the whole year though, you also want to give everyone something to play for. Otherwise, teams getting off to a bad start may just mail it in, and that's no good for the league...M
12 teams, 25 man rosters PPRETA - 6 years old.
Seven year old dynasty league here, and the #1 seed in the league is 0-7 in the playoffs.
Because it's the winner's fault that the rules are set up that way? Lame. Change it for the future, but don't piss on someone out of spite.
*drool* 25 man rosters
the #1 seed is the kiss of death in our league, specialty if you have a great year, only lose 1 or 2 games. I was the 5th seed this year and beat the #1 seed(11-2) today for the championship. I have had 2 season as the #1 seed, both years I was 12-1 and lost in the 2nd round
That might not solve it either. We have 6 go through to the playoffs, with the 1 and 2 seeds getting a bye. I was the 1 seed and both the #2 seed and I had 10-3 regular season records. We both lost our playoff game last week after the bye week.
Solid strategy... I don't think I could bring myself to do that because I just like dominating every week. It's fun. Though, it's not fun to have my juggernaut get knocked off in the first round of the playoffs by a team whose owner did nothing more than set his roster each week.
We have bingo. Records don't always tell the true story. We have a guy in guy in our league who 3 years in a row has had the most points scored against him. It's a curse, I'm surprised he hasn't moved on.
what is your justification?
I wouldn't say there is anything wrong with it at all.... just goes to show that all you have to do is make it to the playoffs..... anything can happen.
would not think a team would make the playoffs with a 4-9 record in those MOX leagues
Congrats on not recognizing the difference between real football and fantasy football.kingmalaki said:
In 6 years of our league, I've won about 80% of my games - far and away the best record in the league. I've been to only two SBs and never won any of them.
