Since it's getting towards the end of the year I was wondering how everyones' league pays their winners.
My main league does something that's probably considered non-traditional as most of the money is given out based on the regular season.
$75 buy-in, 10 teams. 8 teams make playoffs.
1st place regular season: $225
2nd place regular season: $150
3rd place regular season: $75
Regular season total points: $100
Superbowl Winner: $200
I'm not the commish of this league, but I don't mind the pay outs because I think it rewards overall consistency and accounts for some of the luck factor by paying for overall total points. Obviously the playoffs are de-emphasized with this kind of pay structure, but I can't imagine there is anything more frustrating then dominating all year, then having one bad week and getting bounced out with no money. Also, with 8 teams making the playoffs, even the bad teams have a shot at some money if they can get hot at the end of the year.
How does your league do it?
