Fantasy Dilemma - Opinions Needed Please

I'm the commissioner of an espn league. well last week was round 1 of our playoffs. when I woke up this morning i realized that the 2 and 3 seeds tied, but the 2 seed advanced to the championship round. i set the tie-breaker as highest bench points and thought that carried into the playoffs, but the 3 seed had more bench points than the 2 seed. i emailed espn and was informed that their default tie-breaker in playoffs is the highest seed advances which i think is BS. we've never had a tie in the playoffs in prior years so i was not aware of this until today. anyway, i'm trying to do what i think is right, but i don't know what the most right thing is. basically my choices are:
1. honor the espn default this season which is higher seed advances even though i don't like it. if i do this i will definitely do away with this setting before next season.
2. manually add up yardage and award fractional passing, rushing, receiving, & return yardage like yahoo does.
3. best 2/3 on a coin flip.
i'm open to other options as well.
thoughts please….

Do this, see if it allows you to change to fractional.
This bench point thing is ridiculous. That would penalize someone who keeps handcuffs.

i would go with fractional scoring.
What we do in our league to prevent this is during each playoff game we will post on the message board who we think will be our two highest scoring players. Then if their is a tie whoever's two players score the most will advance. We haven't had a tie yet but that is the policy we have in place

fractional points is where i was leaning. i don't see where it will allow me to change it however on espn fantasy. i would have to manually add up the fractional points based on our scoring system.
I just hate to do this now after one team already thinks they're in the championship.

so neither are aware of it?
Posted on 12/22/15 at 11:33 pm to Lester Earl
they both know now, but noone, including me, knew it prior to today.
i thought of another option, but it's kind of out there even though i think it would work.
see what each team scores this week, which is the final week in our league. if seed 3 outscores seed 2 this week i could go back and manually advance them to the championship. if seed 2 outscores seed 3 i could just leave it as is since they advanced by default. basically seeds 2 & 3 would be playing another game in the background even though seed 2 is in the championship vs seed 4 and seed 3 is matched up against seed #1 if all of that makes sense…

Fractional points is the only fair way.
Posted on 12/23/15 at 7:33 am to JYD
No to the last option. Then the other team in the championship wouldn't know who he was playing against but would actually be playing against 2 teams. And would have to beat the highest score of both those teams.
Is money involved? Maybe get them to split?

Create a one day college fantasy game for today's two bowl games and tomorrow's noon game.
Winner of the bowl game challenge plays for the championship.

Go with fractional scoring. That's the only fair way.
Switch to fractional scoring next year. I saw multiple games get decided by fractions between my 2 leagues this year.

you manually have ESPN do fractional scoring by going into your settings, and for exampled turn passings yards from 10 yds =1 point to 1 yard =.01pts

Both guys know and have always agreed to using bench points as a tie breaker?

Yeah, why was this not mentioned as one of your methods if its always been like that? This would be a 10 second "ESPN screwed up" decision my leagues.
If you set rules, stick to them. It's only fair. Don't go invent some other rule because a setting got messed up.

Most points for in regular season should advance.

Bench points is stupid. What if one team loads up their bench with QBs?
Posted on 12/23/15 at 1:54 pm to JYD
or, you can do a triple threat for the championship. highest scoring team of the three teams wins!!

If your rules were bench points, that's what you go with. Personally, I think it's a stupid tiebreaker - but that's not the point. You can't make a change during the season, go with what was the rules set in place prior to the season.
