There are still a fair number of rationales to be turned in. Please use the draft thread for that.
We'll use this thread for discussion of regular season topics. |

FYI:
The AAA#2 final standings are posted on our thread. Pretty link by someone?

Just curious - something I asked in the AAA thread that didn't seem to be clear. What is the criteria for the 2 non-playoff teams in AAA to stay in AAA? Is it record based, points based, or consolation bracket finish?
I was 7th in scoring but had an 8-18 record (My leaguemates even named the unlucky schedule after me - 'The Nerf Schedule'). Missed the playoffs by 3 points because there were other unluckies in the middle of the pack.

Usually based on regular season standings - but not set in stone. Remind me next June, and I'll try to consider your specific situation.

Re 332.
Even though its AA, I think I can top that for bad luck. I am one of the two that lost a FOUR WAY tie for 7th.

[324] One solution could be to include teams for the playoffs as we do now, but to seed teams 1-8 based on points scored. More times than not, the top teams would avoid playing the points qualifiers in Week 14 because the teams that are 7th and 8th now would probably climb the seeding ladder a bit.
Under this scenario the first round matchups would be
#1 Bonka vs #8 Fugazi
#2 Electroman vs #7 Slizz
#3 Short Bus vs #6 IAC
#4 youngroman vs #5 MC
It would reward managers with high PF in some way; right now we basically do nothing for achieving high scores. It really is unrewarding for a top scoring team to have to play another high scorer.

If you do that it might as well become a points league and forget about head to head match-ups.

That has always been the argument against it.
We've also considered letting the top 4 seeds choose their 1st round opponent. I don't recall why that proposal was rejected. Probably the KISS principle.

I'm fine with it the way it is now and I'd be fine with it the way [336] proposes.
I see that the 6 managers re-invited to RIFC from 2009 include those who wound up with the Top 6 seeds in the final regular season standings. Is that the way the qualifiers will be chosen moving forward to 2010? In other words: Slizz, Bonka, youngroman, Short Bus, IAC, and me?

Depends on how the playoffs go. The playoff champ will definitely come back, for example.

you can call my team smoke and mirrors!
I mean I still would've put together a playoff team, but alot has to do with lucky scheduling.
Either way, anything can happen come playoff time! Best of luck to all.

So Bonka, you complianed about QB injuries all year, and this week, the two biggest QB injuries did me in, Rodgers and Cassel. So QB injuries help you out. How is that for irony?

bad job by my complete team (incl. coach). I did score 100 or more all season only to score below when it really counts. key injuries and brutal performances were a factor this week.
and to make matters worse, my opponent looks like the top scorer this week. so I most likely would have lost anyway. what a bad luck.
good that I look to be already qualified for next season. now the only question is when this next season will be played.
good luck for those still in!

Looks like the underdogs will all be advancing past the regular season top performers (Unless someone's team goes off in the last quarter of play).

What a disappointment. Best team by far over 13 weeks then put up a stinker in the first round. 3.6 points from the #1 DL, #2 RB, and #1 TE really helps.

All four underdogs (seeds 5-8) advanced. The same thing happened the first year of the RIFC. MC should remember that year, as he won it all as the #6 seed (beating me as the #8 seed).
I note with amusement that MC is again the #6 seed this year.

not only did the 5-8 seeds win, all the winners out-scored the losers, so the teams that lost can get annoyed at the matchups they faced. Still annoying to lose, but at least you can't say "if I would have faced ..."

Re 356,
True,
That said, if I wasn't a bonehead, and I started Vinatieri instead of Kaeding (simply forgot to switch them out on Thursday), or TJ Ward instead of McKelvin (over-analyzing), I would have beat IAC (my brother, and scored more than EE). As is often the case, my brother also could have started Jacobs, which would have put him out of range. As it stood, however, my intent was to start Vinatieri.
Oh well, my team went in the crapper when Gore went down while I was in the middle of the Mediterranean sea. Never really recovered from that...120 points is not going to get it done (nor should it!).
Good luck to all of the remaining competitors. May you all avoid injuries and have the team that performs the best win.

I need some playoff help from the pros here.
I have to choose 4 of:
Austin
R White
Harvin
S Rice
M Wllliams ( TB )
I also picked up Webb, starting today and is QB/WR eligible.
Or I can fill the flex slot with Choice
Who do like and is Webb worth a gamble

I like Webb as a flex WR and nabbed him in a yahoo league for the start.
I'd go:
Austin
White
Wllliams
Webb

Depends on a few things: PPR and return yardage.
If neither, I agree with TB. If you get return yardage, Harvin should be in there instead of Webb. If you get PPR, I might start Choice over Webb.

yes PPR, no return yardage
I thought Webb also, on the assumption that if either Rice or Harvin have a big day, Webb had to be part of it? No?
Britt is also available.

I like the potential for Dallas to score some garbage time points against a quitting Washington defense; Choice could benefit greatly from that. Probably can't go wrong with Webb either, but he's a complete mystery at this point. No idea what to expect from him.

I am going nuts. Who ever tells Andy Reid to challenge has to be fired. First, Nicks didn't keep control on the third down pass that led to the first TD, then the D-Jax call? Doesn't help that the refs don't know what a catch is either. This game has been extremely frustrating to watch.

I had a couple too many players underwhelm this week for me to make it to the next level. It was a good ride though, and I'm happy to have made it to the final four once again. Have a great end of year everyone!

Thank you Sir. It feels odd making to the championship game with what in my opinion is one of my worst teams ever. Riddled with injury and for the most part anonymous. Best I can hope for is another lucky week. Good luck MC.

Saw something in another thread that inspired me to do this. The top Waiver team, no IDP or D or K.
QB- Vick(#1 points QB)
RB- Hillis(#2 Points RB)
RB- Tolbert(#15 points RB)
WR- Lloyd(#1 points WR)
WR- S. Johnson(#13 points WR)
WR- D. Branch(#32 points WR)
TE- M. Lewis (#3 points TE)
There was J Ford who was drafted, but released and was on the waivers for a while who was #25 WR.
Quite the team.
