Before I get into the normal stuff, I want to throw 2 things out for the people to digest so I can gauge response to this:
1) I want to make the playoffs Top 8 PLUS TIES going forward, as I think it's kind of fluky to have people with equal performance in something like this miss out on the playoffs over someone else because of a 1-time guess, essentially. 2) As for the playoffs themselves, rather than run a strictly elimination tournament also based on tiebreakers, I want to change it to a running total of picks for the whole playoffs. IE rather than half of the playoff people being eliminated every round, everyone picks every game and the total highest score wins. However, I run this for you all to enjoy, so if many people think either or both of these would be unwise decisions, I will not do these things. So please, along with your picks if you care to, any feedback on these proposed changes would be welcome. I just feel these changes would not only give more people a chance to win (a chance that is well earned since unlike something like professional sports, the performance here of tied people is exactly the same because all the same games were picked), but also keep up engagement throughout the playoff process. If you don't care one way or the other, that's fine, just make your picks as normal. *NORMAL OPENING BLURB IN THE NEXT POST* --- I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss ...

On to business, this week was probably pretty average if I had to guess, maybe a bit below. The best performers this week however, were @th3l3fty and @ ultimaterializerX (who has been at the top twice in a row now, look out!) with 11 wins! @KCF0107 was one of 2 people to take the giants and it looked like he might have a chance to earn the sole 11 win week, but alas, it was not to be.
However, upset of the week does go to @KCF0107 and @TheKnightOfNee, being the only 2 people to take the chargers over the packers! Good job guys!

Isn't playoffs top 12 usually or am I going crazy >_> I don't know what lefty did before but last year, which was my first year runnign it, it was top 8. I mean if people want top 12 that's an option too, but the main thing I want to know is whether or not people are okay with ties getting in, as that's my main issue. I feel it's kinda cheap for someone to miss out on a 1-week tiebreaker, feel me? --- I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss ... Copied to Clipboard!

I like the current elimination format, but wouldn't mind Top 12 plus ties. If going that route my ideal setup would keep the NFC/AFC title games to four people and the Super Bowl to two --- Save in the name of true love ~Project 1000~ ... Copied to Clipboard!

1. 12 or 16 people. How would ties work if you have like 19 people in the playoffs though?
2. If you're trying to eliminate people getting into the playoffs based on a guess couldn't this end up as someone possibly winning based on a guess if two (or more) people are tied going into the Super Bowl game?

1. 12 or 16 people. How would ties work if you have like 19 people in the playoffs though? 1) If 19 people were to theoretically tie for first place, then all 19 would make the playoffs yes. Unless I've misunderstood your question. 2) I get what you're saying, and at some point tiebreakers are inevitable when using a playoff format. However, fewer is better in my opinion so this is an effort to at least cut down on it. At least if this were to happen then the tiebreakers would ONLY be used during the playoffs, not during AND before. --- I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss ... Copied to Clipboard!

1. Nah like if 7 people were tied for that 12th or 16th final playoff spot then you'd have like 19 people in the playoffs which I guess if we went to just straight pick em instead of eliminating people each round wouldn't be that big of a deal.
2. Gotcha gotcha yeah I get that argument, I'm up for it. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Also lefty confirmed to me that he always did top 12 so it'd be top 12 plus ties is what I'd be looking at, not top 8 plus ties. My sheet from last year said I only did top 8 which is now curious why i did that, maybe I was just trying to be edgy or something. Oh well, so yeah top 12 + ties into the playoffs is the proposition.
Edit: I straight up misread my sheet and forgot that 1-4 got byes, which is where I got my initial 8-team proposition from, cause I only saw 8 names in the wild card round sheet. So yep, my bad people, top 12 + ties is what i'd like to do. --- I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss ... Copied to Clipboard!
