Why would yall decide bench points are more important than higher seed?


Because regular season results should have no bearing on the playoffs. Once the playoffs start, everyone is on equal footing. The bench players are at least on your team and have results that can be tallied for the week.

Not only was he in the league, he was the original commissioner.

Also, how did y’all have this issue years again and not adjust to fractional scoring? Sounds like a lazy commish


The old people in our league don't like changes unless they feel like they benefit from them and vote common sense down.

Regular season absolutely has bearing on the playoffs as it determines where you’re seeded. I’m assuming y’all are fine with the espn standard there which doesn’t reseed after week one. So 1 plays 4/5 regardless of if the 6th place team wins the first week or not. At least higher seed makes logical sense from a home field advantage standpoint, since there’s no true home field advantage in fantasy football. Using the players you decided not to play because they’re on your bench is ludicrous. With y’all scoring system, I’m surprised there aren’t more ties. Yall are incentivizing teams to drop players on out for the week, because they will hurt the team being on their bench.

With that said….

You should move on based on this statement

I change my vote. I had assumed he was a recent addition.

Didn't see this before my previous comment. Makes me feel even stronger about my opinion.

You should be demanding you move on to the next round. No coin flip. Move you forward or give you your money back. Full stop.

Bench points is a terrible rule lacking common sense compared to seeding

Are you one of the old people dodging common sense?
