re: Ever witnessed someone come in last place with the most points?

Please tell me your league has a last place humiliation prize

Yeah. You can achieve two points every week in that scenario. So the overall record is double the games.

Does this mean you are doing both? How do you score it? 1 point for h2h and one for top 6?

I keep wanting to propose this to one of my leagues but don't want to do it when it just looks like sour grapes. I've mentioned it to the commissioner before but it got no traction.

My league does a win (or point) for each the H2H and Top 6. So you can go 2-0, 1-1, or 0-2 each week. We had a lot of people that hate change and vote shite down just because it goes against the grain without listening to reason, but we finally got it through a couple years ago. Some folks think it's going to take away from the importance of the H2H, but for the last couple years that we ran it, we looked at the hypothetical final standings had we just stayed with H2H and the standings were 85-90% the exact same, with a couple teams flip-flopping spots. So it's really not a huge change, but does correct a few more deserving teams moving up a spot or two. IMO, it helps to get the standings "right" without being a radical change.

which fantasy apps support this? Going to switch next year

None because it was invented on this board by me and some others like 10 years ago. You have to use a site that allows you to change the schedule after games for that week have been played. ESPN does this, others do too.

For example, after monday night on a given week, I go to the schedule and edit it to match a top 6 team against a bottom 6 team so that it gives the top 6 a win and the bottom 6 a loss. It takes no more than 5 minutes.

F all that. I just have a spreadsheet that computes standings each week, then I paste the standings in the League Note.

If you want to do top 6 (median scoring) plus head to head, sleeper can do this.

I prefer just top 6 bottom 6 because it takes away the fluke wins and losses, and scrub teams that don't care at the end of the year don't influence who gets a win or loss as much.

Yeah, that's more work for you and everyone. It's so much easier just to switch, at most, 3-4 teams around in the schedule each week, and it keeps the standings clean on the website.

But by all means keep doing it the hard way.

nope, thats all you brotha

literally punch the scores (automatically calculates T6/B6) and H2H results (a 1 for a win or 0 for a loss) into my spreadsheet, which takes about 60 seconds, then I c/p the standings it gives me. manually set playoff matchups end of year.

spend about 15min total over the course of a season doing extra work, about as easy as it gets

ETA: I see you just do T6/B6 and not hybrid. I misread earlier. Yes, your way is easier for that

You punching in the scores takes longer than me clicking a check box. Then people don't have to refer to a spreadsheet for updates standings, everything is right there.

I mean to each their own. If that works for you, cool. I've been doing this awhile, with input from many on this board, and this is what we've found to be the best for us. But everyone has their own way of doing things

check my edit, i misunderstood

FWIW sleeper does the hybrid. I like the app. First year using it.

---

good to know, i'll look into it. im sure it will be a monumental task to get people to leave ESPN though seems like most people (myself included) hate having to open 3 apps for different fantasy leagues

Does anyone play in a league that actually pays out for highest total season points?

We do in tdfl. highest points trumps best record in our league.

I think 300.00 of the total 3k pot goes to the top scorers.
