Playoff Bye Week (1 Viewer)

[Stillers Jr.]

Hi Guys,

We, like a lot of h2h leagues, have a playoff system in place where the top 2 teams get a "Bye" week the 1st rd of the playoffs (Wildcard Weekend as it were). That was Last week.

I got some grief from the two teams that their players had outstanding weeks that were "wasted" on the Bye.

Pierre Garcon is one, he had 27 points last week in our league.

Anyway, ais there anyone out there that has a rule in place for the Bye week? So allow the owner of a team on a Bye to pick a player and use the points scored in Week 14...the next week? Or is that too hokey.

Example would be the guy who had Garcon, could choose to keep the 27 pts or take what Garcon produces in week 15.

Too much?

I guess a gift free pass to the next round is not enough for people.

I won my week 5 game by 38 points. Can I move 37 points to week 6?

 

[Dr. Awesome]

I like this idea. I'd like to save Peterson's 3 points for next week.

I have the most points in my league by over 100. I would have lost round 1 if it wasn't for my well deserved BYE. With Nicks back, I feel better about rd 2.

If someone came to me in my league with that request, I'd either laugh at him or kick him out of the league. Or both.

WTF??? Am I reading this right? 2 clowns who don't have to play this week, are #####ing because their guys scored this week?

 

[footballnerd]

only if I'm allowed to move the points that I would of scored in Round 2, had I not been eliminated, and use them in Round 1.

Just when you thought you'd seen it all...

 

[JD8p]

So wait...they whined about not having to play someone and still advancing?

 

[CalBear]

How about this, before week 14, you will allow them to swap their bye week with any of the teams which have to play week 14. That way all their players will count.

A microcosm of the whiny, wussified, and ridiculous society that we've become.

Good point. No room for being ridiculous in imaginary football. Why do people have to take something manly like pretend football played on computers and wussify it?

If you offer a small prize for total points, everybody is happy.

And yes, the bye complainer is stupid. In head-to-head, where everygame is virtually a coin flip, moving to the next round without having to win a coin flip can put you 1 win away from the championship.

 

[Stillers Jr.]

Case closed it seems.

Thanks for the feedback guys..

Sorry, don't mean to pick on you, but this is the third time I've seen this this week.

But you should of pointed out what he typed wrong, so he would of not done it in the future.

Oh, nevermind...I see you of bolded it. Of a good season.

I am now going to have to go cleanse the palette by reading some 'is this collusion' threads.

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

One of the dumber rules I have seen offered. Nice work.

Tell the owners to quit their whining.

lol @ 'wasted points' in a week u advance. This would be way too much of an advantage. Tell em to make side bets if they dont want to waste em...

 

[swirvenirvin]

We have a small pay out for the "bye week" teams and I as commish set it up so they play each other. So they are not playing for nothing

 

[Sinrman]

Funniest post of the week...

 

[The Man With No Name]

Make your league have a 4 team playoff in weeks 15 & 16 instead of 6 teams in 14,15,16

 

[rocketsauce]

I dislike the whole bye week thing, but mainly due to the fact that I can't stand to take a week off. We only get 16 or 17 weeks of this glorious stuff, and I don't want my team taking a week off.

I advocate the 4 team playoff anyway for any leagues 12 or smaller. Just don't like letting 1/2 of the teams into the playoffs.
