Hello all,
Feel free to ask any clarifying questions re the league vote on the rules.
I'm really only going to advocate for the first couple questions. I made the push for a change in the scoring system to keep people engaged as long as possible. Last year most of the contests were decided 3 categories to 2, often by narrow margins. The old head to head model could easily put someone far down the leaderboard with little hope of getting back into contention for being on the wrong end of otherwise very close head to head matchups. Switching to a points system that hands out 3 points per matchup (3 points to the winner of 5-0 or 4-1, 2 points to the winner 3-2 and 1 point to the loser of a 3-2, and a little nuanced half point measure for category ties) essentially keeps those teams on the losing end of otherwise very close matchups right in the thick of it. Additionally, adding a weekly bonus point to the leader of each category adds an additional incentive and intrigue regarding scoring.
I posted this in last years thread to a demonstrative example of the difference between the two:
Team A Wins 3-2 Wins 3-2 Wins 3-2 Wins 3-2 Wins 3-2
Team B Wins 3-2 Wins 3-2 Loses 3-2 Loses 3-2 Loses 3-2
Team C Wins 4-1 Loses 3-2 Loses 3-2 Loses 3-2 Loses 3-2
In the current scoring model (head to head) the record would be: Team A: 5-0 Team B: 2-3 Team C: 1-4
However, in a 3, 2, 1 points model, the record would be:
Team A: 10 points Team B: 7 points Team C: 6 points
If in the next 5 matches the scores were
Team A Win 3-2 Win 3-2 Lose 4-1 Lose 4-1 Lose 3-2
Team B Win 4-1 Win 3-2 Lose 3-2 Lose 3-2 Lose 3-2
Team C Win 4-1 Win 4-1 Win 3-2 Lose 3-2 Lose 3-2
In the old model, the record would be Team A: 7-3 Team B: 4-6 Team C: 4-6
in the points model it would be: Team C: 16 points Team A: 15 points Team B: 15 points
A few 4-1 wins can REALLY make a difference in, and that's not including my suggestion of adding in the 5 weekly bonus point for each high category
We've done the last few fantasy leagues in just the head to head model....lets shake things up!!!!
FWIW, I'm not in favor of the hybrid model, I think we should either switch to points based or keep head to head with the typical end-league tie breaker rules. I also think that if we do switch to the hybrid model, having an active roster team minimum (question 6) will help mitigate teams stacking.

I feel like there’s a lot of pressure on the #1 pick 😂

So it looks like weekly roster position minimums is going to pass. What happens when a player switches positions mid-season or plays a different position this year than last year? You're required to add/drop to make your lineup legal?

I think if we switch to points we should hav me a re vote on the bonus points.... so that we can actually get consensus.

You're required to add/drop to make your lineup legal? It’s in the initial post rules. When we do the draft, all positions that player qualifies for in the initial draft will be noted. That won’t change regardless of what transpires during the season. That player will be eligible to meet the active roster minimum for which ever position(s) listed on your roster. If you trade that player, whatever position(s) they currently play at the time of trade is what gets added as the position(s) to your roster.

Right, I know that's what it is for the season-long rosters. But it's the same thing for the weekly lineup positions?
