Just a reminder guys, trade deadline is tomorrow.

Got a few offers out there right now...

Jeffrey/Ellington for Garcon and Ellington for Jordy straightup

If chop wants to give me Peyton Manning, that is cool too...

Yea I forgot about the most points thing.
You are right.
That would not be smart for either of us.
I also have an outside shot at that.


I thought best record gets $500? I don't think total pts winner gets anything.

I thought this is how it is

3k
1500
1k
500

I dunno but we need to solidify what the payouts are for this league. I'm cool with whatever but there seems to be some confusion...

I guess im going to have to read all 45 pages of this thread to get to the bottom of what we talked about.

We did a poor job of finalizing the little details at the end.

I'm pretty sure what I quoted thedude as saying 1-2 pages ago is the payout. Thedude said what it was and everyone was fine with it.

I don't think we did a poor job finalizing the details, I think you guys just were mistaken but dude did make it clear what payouts were pretty sure.

I'm fine with whatever really, I just didn't wanna see people being like WTF and think they were owed money at the end since that would suck.

In the settings it lists the season trade date end as Nov. 15th (tomorrow) but it does not say what time tomorrow...

So what if the best records are tied???? Doesn't it go to most points for the tiebreaker???

Yeah points is the tiebreaker but best record gets that $500 or whatever, not total pts.

I'd prefer total points since best record gets a 1st rd playoff bye anyway whereas points someone who crushed it but got a worse record gets a chance to be rewarded. Either/or is fine with me but hopefully we can finalize this...

So we are clear- playoff seedings are determined by Yahoo, correct? If one clicks on the playoff bar above the current standings, yahoo does the projected seedings as of today...The tied team with the most points are listed first...I do not see any mention or tracking of h2h...best regular season standings apparently would be determined by yahoo as well, using the same protocal as mentioned above, correct? Their is no mention of h2h by yahoo anywhere...is this correct??? Buffalo Bob......

I tend to like the idea of most points getting the 500 instead of best record (who will already get the playoff bye as already mentioned). Most points can would also reward someone who has done well with their team overall but has just not been lucky with the head to head matchups and it seems fair that this should be somehow acknowledged. I am however fine with whatever people want. Is it worth having a vote? Again, however people want to do it is fine with me but I think it would be smart to settle this for sure by Sunday.

Send me your BEST offers for Foles and Bernard. Not that much time left and I'm looking to make a move. Looking for RBs/WRs.

Grog - since your sitting third in total points, i can see why you would be in favor of the total points theory : ) however, " best record "is just that - best record...if one goes back to late august in this thread- before the first game was played, the dude indicated that the prize payout would be Best record $500- there is no further mention of any other prize structure prior to beginning of play, nor any finalization of most points- any change after 10 weeks of play , by vote or otherwise, would be unfair and questionable at this point ...Chop said he would double check...My two cents...Bobbflo
BTW, I have enjoyed participating with this crew in this endeavor in my first year of play

So what's the latest guys?

Have some of you received PM's from Willie for payment instructions?

If Yahoo Randomly selects the draft order like Chop said, then that's the route we should go in my opinion.

What's the official decision on the player format?

So the payouts are as follows correct?:

1st: $3,000
2nd: $1500
3rd: $1,000
Best Record: $500

So everyone ok with this payout?

Why don't we split the 500 between reg season 1st place and reg season high point?
Or better-take 500 from end of season 1st or 3rd to pay reg season high point.

High point person has shown the most "skill" IMO but could easily get hosed in the playoffs.

Yeah Falls had the right payout structure and I think that is what Chop was saying he liked.

I know that is what I like.

I don't see a problem with splitting it.

One thing I'm not in favor of is paying $500 to the best record AND $500 to the one with the most points.

It's possible you could be paying the same guy not only BOTH of the things above, as well as placing 1st, 2nd, or 3rd.

Yes a guy with the best record and/or most points could get knocked off in the 1st round, but he could also do just the opposite and roll everybody all the way through...

It's only my opinion that we only commit $500 to either best record, or most points.

I think almost all of the prize pool should go to a guy who places 3rd (or 1st/2nd) for working his butt off making roster moves & such, to get to get to the playoffs.

Again, only my opinion :toast:

Yeah but the guys winning the most pts are working their butt off too and did a better job. They should be rewarded for having the best team from beginning to end....

If I had to choose, I would go with most points...Not Best Record

But I have the same opinion as TheDude earlier in this thread when he pointed out that he's in this league to win serious dough.

Of course I wouldn't mind getting my fee back in the end but I'm not in this for a full season just to try to win my $500 back in 3rd place lol.

Either way whatever the majority is I'm just happy we all got together to make this happen! :)

Draft Date - Sunday seems to work for everyone.
that being said, due to Yahoo filling up, the only option we had was 10:30 PM - i know this is late.
Let me know if this doesnt work, we'd need to find a date closer to start of season (like the Tuesday before games start)

Rosters - i updated to 3 WR

Payouts - i like what we did last year, 3K, 1500, 1000, then 500 for best record

Draft Order set.

only thing i believe outstnading are:
1) Roster Spots - currently 4 votes for 2 WR, 3 votes for 2 WR
2) Payouts - planning on 3000, 1500, 1000, 500 for best record

To be continued.

Nice job reading through the whole thread chop. Props for that

I think what thedude said last is what it is.



only thing i believe outstnading are:
1) Roster Spots - currently 4 votes for 2 WR, 3 votes for 2 WR
2) Payouts - planning on 3000, 1500, 1000, 500 for best record

I'd prefer most points but best record is totally fine...Seems like we should go with this since it seems that is what dude said.

Also chop FWIW, you and I have a 100 pts sidebet. You and willie only person I sidebet
