*******Changes for the future... FBPPers, a couple of things before everyone disappears until next fall... I have arranged with SI to change the name of this board to make it more relevant and maybe get some more people interested in joining in (personal recruitment by current members more than welcomed and in fact encouraged -- we used to have over 20-30 in the early years)...
Also, will consider implementing some changes to the rules if we get a consensus (would have to be nearly unanimous) on them... I'm open to any and all suggestions, but with the following restrictions:
-- Only one contest for regular season, not one like the current plus some sort of elimination or whatever in parallel... I just can't handle the logistics let alone the confusion of two concurrent contests and posts for each at the same time.
-- Only one contest for the post season.
-- Possible exception to the above two points would be to have an "overall" winner that would combine the results of the regular season with the results of the post season, giving three winners: Regular season; Post season; and Combined/Overall season winner.
-- No pt. spreads, at least for the regular season contest, and probably not for the post season... again, I'm inherently lazy and scoring the contest with pt. spreads adds a couple extra layers to the exercise for me.
-- I personally don't enjoy contests where you pick one (or a small number) of teams each week, but can't pick those again -- or variations on that theme... If enough people want that, there is already a contest like that on SI, but I choose not to participate in those.
-- Other than the above pts., all I really care about is K.I.S.S. -- keep it simple &stupid -- easy to enter, easy to score, easy to ride herd on.
Feel free to post any and all ideas here while everyone is still around to see/discuss... if there isn't some huge groundswell for sweeping changes, I will simply opt to keep things the way they are for at least another season and maybe use the time next season to hammer out any future changes to the contest.
Above all, I want it to be fun and not a hassle for people (including me)... <grin> |
