You def should trademark it, lol. I've met non-TD folks just getting into FF the last few seasons that know of top6/bot6.

Making your mark on the world PCT.

People are reluctant to switch because they like the head to head matchup, not realizing it's more competitive and exciting when you're fighting against 4-5 other teams going into Monday night.

We did this like 5 years ago in TDFL. People will eventually act like they knew about other leagues doing it and shite...it started with us. No one had ever heard of it. I had to talk it through with RT Sports and that's when we figured out changing the weekly match ups instead of manually adjusting the standings which you can't do. I'm glad it's taken off because it really is better than straight head to head. There is nothing good about losing to the top scoring team when you scored the 2nd most. It takes all of the BS scheduling issues out of it, like teams who may have been good week 1 but decided to tank or not care at the end of the year. There is really no downside.

What's crazy is that we had 24 teams that just went along with it. We can't agree onot hardly anything, but they were all like, yeah let's do it.

I remember you were pissed we did it in regulars until after week 1

Most points scored in the league along with the most points scored against.

With some luck in final 2 weeks, I was able to get the 3 seed.

I suggested this to the commish of my longest running league.

these assholes approved a switch to IDP for defense but won't get with the Top 6/Bottom 6??

a bunch of crap.

I'm leaving that league.

I outscored a host of teams making the playoffs yet I'm sitting. And I scored a lot of my points due to defense trying my damn best to go along with the new way.

It would be one thing if your playing for fun, but when $ is involved you want to eliminate flukes and reward skill.

I like both. One thing I like about head to head is that its easier to come back if you start in a hole.

I know that's right man.


I can't stand these old school head-to-head matchups. When you win I admit it doesn't matter but I've learned that playing in an IDP league is absolute trash.

I'm not talking about starting only 3 players. No.. in this one you start 7 players on defense alone!!!!!!

I don't really want to punk out of the league cause those are my main buddies who I've known personally for years. Its a highly active league so its not like guys are trying to finish last even if their chances of cashing are through.

I stacked two Broncos CB's this week vs. Bortles this week for example. Roby picked off a pass and scored a TD and Chris Harris added another INT. They both had a handful of tackles too and that was key.

it was actually a dud by Drew Brees that did me in this week. And I'm sure I'll catch crap for it because I bragged that I stole him at only $16 in the auction style draft.

my money league switched how we do playoffs a few years back to stop stuff like this from happening. 12 team league with two divisions. Best record in each division makes playoffs, then top two scoring teams regardless of record are the two wildcards. Guarantees top 2 points are in

I have the most points in a 10 team league... I'm 6-7 and have to win and at least two teams lose to make the playoffs... two of the teams I need to lose are the two bottom scoring teams in the league.
