Injuries are a shite reality we all accept…this is different.

Hell even when there’s weather events I let guys name alternates before kickoff if a game their starter is in gets moved or postponed

Maybe I misunderstood or maybe it’s worded wrong. But if the projections show the odds based on the game no being played, then how does it not show the person winning at 100%?


You are correct. Odds show the team in the lead being the winner.

I thought you were saying whoever was in the lead should be named the winner if the game isn’t played to finish.

You could argue that its similar to having a player get an injury and its just bad luck, or you can project victory and payout accordingly. There is no correct answer


I agree. No right way to do it.

I didn’t make my playoffs a couple weeks ago when kyler Murray got hurt early in the game. I needed a total of 5pts.

How is it different? It’s all shite luck caused by a football related injury.

Have a friend in another league and he said the championship had mixon as the only player left to go on a team that was down by 1.

They are putting it up to a majority vote to determine which team wins.

I agree, but i already have had a guy in my league who equates them to this, and seen a few others saying thats how they are considering it.

I'm up 27 with Diggs vs Singletary. I will win but I'm not splitting shite. If the game is cancelled I win. This also affects me in another league where I have Tee down 18. If the game is cancelled I lose.

The issue all leagues are dealing with is these outcomes could both go either way if game plays out.

It sucks because every league is going to have to decide some arbitrary way to determine a champion for this season.

Probably best if there’s no champion for 2022.

Up 31 in one championship my opponent has Mixon and up 45 in another my opponent has Diggs.

Not really sure what options there really are.

What are your options? Are you deciding by yourself?

Lol no I’m not shouldn’t have worded it that way. I’ll most likely split the pots in each or something like that.

Will put it up to a vote most likely between having them count next weeks performance to this weeks game or splitting 50/50. Sucks cause one pot was 900 for 1st/ 300 2nd and 800 for 1st/ 200 for 2nd

I’m down by .2 with Burrow and Cook. My league has been silent. I’m pretty pissed about it.

My opponent had Josh Allen going with the app predicting that he had a 4% chance of beating me as I was winning soundly so I'm going to be a little ticked if I end up having to split the winnings.
