I know this is just a list of items for review but we probably don't need a bunch of separate threads for each item where only 3-4 people will chime in anyway.

- Schedule:  2 vs division, 1 vs other teams.  .....  This should be a given since it is really a fix in the scheduling. It's how I had things set up on Yahoo but BL didn't carry it over when he created the ESPN version.   12 teams, 3 divisions, 14 regular season weeks sets up perfectly to play your division opponents 2X and all other teams 1X. 

 

- higher league fees:   sounds good to me but I am also of the mindset that if it's going to turn off too many people then we can keep it as is. I have enough leagues where I don't need this to be a higher stakes league if it's going to risk it falling apart or having to replace good owners with dbags. 

 

- high score payouts:    I think everyone knows my stance on those.  Bigly against them, especially weekly high score.  I think it just dilutes the pot which is better served going to podium finishers. Are we really going to waste $140 of the pot giving 10 bucks to the team who has the high score each week?  I've only ever seen that being useful if a league is trying to motivate owners from getting bored and being deadbeats if their team gets off to a bad start. We don't seem to have that problem. 

 

- Do we want to consider going to a system where you get a win or an additional win for being in the top 6 scoring for the week?  Edjr is really the only one who has cried about having a high weekly score but losing to the top team that week.  I'm probably against having the only wins go to the top 6 scoring teams because then there really is no point in divisions or head to head stuff.... but I am not totally against awarding a win for the matchup as well as an additional W for the top 6 scoring teams and an L for the bottom 6.
