Just for clarification, do yall not use the decimal system?


No its a very antiquated league that was started prior to decimals being a thing and has morphed strangely over the years. We have a few older uncles that vote for the weirdest rules while vetoing common sense rules.

We don't have decimals and we also don't have TEs. We have 3 flexes with only 1 WR and 1 RB. This is all because they kept getting pissed that the younger kids knew which 3 TEs to draft and the rest of the TEs sucked so it put them at a disadvantage. They also would end up with WAY more RBs or WRs than could be played and not enough of the other position hence the flexes.

The weird rules part is why I think the league rules as written should be held to. Its not like we have a cookie cutter ESPN league.

And like I said, I am OK with the coin flip decision as it stops any relationships from being damaged and is fair enough. I have seen friendships completely end over fantasy disputes and $1,000 or whatever we win isn't worth that imo.

That is a very easy fix that takes no time to set up for next season and would eliminate all of this nonsense. I think I've seen one tie since they started doing .1 per yard. It's the only way to go. I'm not sure I'd play in a league that doesn't do that now.

This is your problem. I have played fantasy football for almost 20 years in multiple leagues and have never seen a tie. I also think the highest seed should get the win since it is the website rules and the regular season success should count for something. Using bench players to decide a game is ridiculous. One team may have a bunch of handcuffs and hurt players.
