This is a 12-team, 3 Division Best Ball scoring league with transactions.
Best Ball scoring means that you will not set lineups. The website will take your highest scoring players from your roster and automatically put them into our lineup settings.
Schedule:
The regular season is weeks 1-14. We play doubleheaders every week. You play your division opponents 4 times a season and your non-division opponents twice a season for a total of 28 games.
Standings: Divisions and wild card spots are ranked by most Victory Points, followed by most points scored.
(2 Victory Points per win, 2 Victory points for top 4 score of the week, 1 Victory Point if you score between 5th and 8th, zero Victory Points for the bottom 4 teams of the week.
Since we play doubleheaders, you can get anywhere from 0 Victory Points all the way up to 6 VPs per week.
Tie-breakers are most points scored, then least points against, and then head to head. If another tie-breaker is needed, then for division, the next tiebreaker is division record. If still tied, then the final tie-breaker is a coin flip. If for a wild-card spot, then the division record does not apply and we go to a coin flip. In my 25 years of being a Commissioner, we have never needed to go past most points scored, but the process is there is needed by some miracle.
Playoff Structure:
6 teams qualify. Three division winners plus 3 wildcards.
The division winners are based on Victory Points.
The first 2 wildcard teams are based on Victory Points.
The third wildcard will be based on the highest scoring team among the rest of the 7 teams.
Playoff Schedule:
Week 15:
The top 2 Division Winners (most VPs) get a bye in week 15. Team 3 plays Team 6. Team 4 plays Team 5.
The other Division winner (non-bye) is seed 3. The 2 wildcards by VPs are seeds 4 and 5. The wildcard team by most points scored is seed 6.
Week 16:
Team 1 (Division winner with the most VPs) plays the lowest seed that advanced from week 15.
Team 2 (Division winner with the second most VPs) plays the highest seed that advanced from week 15.
Week 17:
The two winners from week 16 advance to the Fantasy Bowl for the Championship.
The two losers from week 16 play in the Consolation Bowl for third place.
