yep

Last place team gets relegated and Raiders is in

Old maid had but that was prior to 2022 season 

[edjr 6,580]

We really should get like 6 or 8 other people and do a secondary league, points only. Highest gets moved up to the big show. 

[WhiteWonder 2,732]

The relegation thing is a fun concept and I almost suggested it instead of the extra $50 from last to first.  But in both cases I find myself thinking, who really cares about 12th vs 11th? They both sucked. 

I think its probably better to let people do side bets who want to do side bets, consider increasing the buy in for 2025, and if we want incentive for owners to stay competitive it can be done with weekly high score payouts (once we have a larger prize pool) and we could also explore the idea that the winner of the losers bracket gets priority for picking draft slot the following year. Something along those lines.

yeah I get it but what makes 12th more likely to ~stick than 11th? 

relegation would just be fun.   I think the better way to keep people trying is the combination of weekly high score payouts as well as awarding something to the winner of the losers bracket (simple first choice of draft spot the following season)

Weekly high score has NEVER kept people playing, not even in my big league when you get $100 for high score. When people are out, they stop setting lineups, paying attention etc. EVERYONE does this.

I don't disagree, I just know Bier and possibly others have wanted weekly high score payouts.  I could do without them
