Lets keep it simple. We already had a clusterfuck of a league for the regular season fantasy game! Most points wins! -

Azu the points multiplier was just for MVP stuff.Azubuike24;1591257 wrote:Lets keep it simple. We already had a clusterfuck of a league for the regular season fantasy game! Most points wins!

I actually agree with azu even though he probably wasn't being serious. Why so many different winners? Most points wins 80% of the pot. 2nd gets 20%. Simple. -
Azubuike24
Definitely being serious. I mean, we could do a whole composite league like we did in the regular season, but it does become too complicated. Because it's a tournament format, there's a component of not only needing to put up points, but you need your team to advance. It's a simple game, but it does involve some strategy in drafting a team. I'm pumped!

More payouts just keeps this more interesting for people after the 1st round. Its really not that much... -
Laley23
Making it $25 was because we wanted more money for more games within the game. Otherwise, we wouldve just left it at $10 and winner take all.

I agree. Adding in most points per player, most points per round, best average...takes away from the point of the game--adding a good mix of players playing 4-6 games with players scoring 30 for 1-2 games.Azubuike24;1591263 wrote:Definitely being serious.

Idk I just think we should keep it the way the game was intended to be. -

Was the game not that interesting? Lol I understand it makes the games more interesting for those who don't draft a good team, but why are we rewarding teams who don't draft well?Laley23;1591266 wrote:More payouts just keeps this more interesting for people after the 1st round.

I'd be cool with giving people a few chances to get some of their buy-in back. However, the overall winner should be getting at least 60-80% of the pot. Something like 75% to the winner, money back to 3 other people for 2nd place, MVP and one other thing...

I understand what you guys are saying about keeping it simple, but I do think a few of Laleys would be fun. Highest individual game and most points for the tournament total would both be fun additions imo. I'm OK either way, but think having 2 or 3 side ones worth $25 would be fun. Maybe do 2 of them, leaves 250 which could be 200 to winner and 50 to second. -

It was $15 last year and I won $195. -
Azubuike24
I'd be cool with 200, 50, 25 and 25 or 225, 25, 25 and 25. Whatever the majority wants.

BTW, I can do the scoring if wanted. I have a spreadsheet I used last year saved.

Paying $25 and winning $100 for the entire purpose of the tournament sounds really low.

don't mean to hi-jack wildcats spreadsheet, but I came across this article and thought you guys might like. Nice bracket/player tracker template microsoft offers

I would say its almost impossible to win the pot and not take home a some of the side bets.SportsAndLady;1591280 wrote:Paying $25 and winning $100 for the entire purpose of the tournament sounds really low. -
Laley23
But, it seems we dont want this many.
So what about this.
200 for winner
40 for second
20 for MVP
20 for highest overall game
20 for highest overall scorer -
wildcats20
How many rounds are we doing??
-
Laley23
As many as possible, but I think we want to get a minimum of 6.wildcats20;1591285 wrote:How many rounds are we doing?? -

I think the MVP is just too hard to say who should get it. Just take that 20 and give it to the winner. Maybe just to keep it simple go:Laley23;1591283 wrote:But, it seems we dont want this many.

You mean like increasing the number of playoff teams in the regular season league?SportsAndLady;1591269 wrote:Was the game not that interesting? Lol I understand it makes the games more interesting for those who don't draft a good team, but why are we rewarding teams who don't draft well? -

This deserves many reps, lol.Mulva;1591293 wrote:You mean like increasing the number of playoff teams in the regular season league?
I like 1st, 2nd, Most overall and Highest single game like ILT suggested. 25 each for the 2 side games then either 200-50 for first and second or 225-25 like ILT had. I propose 50 for second because it should be more of a reward than having the highest player or highest single game, but 225-25 wouldn't upset me at all. -

Also, looks like we're not doing it but I am not a fan of limiting numbers of players with any stipulations. Just take whoever you want.

I don't mind the idea, but I don't think it's realistic. Would take way too long.Terry_Tate;1591297 wrote:Also, looks like we're not doing it but I am not a fan of limiting numbers of players with any stipulations. Just take whoever you want.
Don't care what the payout structure is, just have it finalized by 6.
