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

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.

Most points for in regular season should advance.

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.
