See Bylaws for more information. •Total Points, for regular season (weeks 1-14) AND playoffs (weeks 15-18). Points reset after week 14, for Playoff scoring •Top 5 Teams make the playoffs, bottom 7 teams play for Consolation payout. •100% Payout, less MFL expenses. Approximately: Champion (~$405), runner-up (~$160), 3rd place (~$85) and consolation winner (~$35), Playoff Challenge (~$70). •Blind bidding waiver system where each Franchise starts with $100 bidding bucks for the season. •Trades allowed. •One player Injured Reserved. •Playoff Challenge (NFL Playoffs Fantasy games) Example: https://www43.myfantasyleague.com/2025/home/22337 •Commissioner is also a Franchise owner. 4Aces FFL - 1 opening - 1 QB, 1 Def, 6 flex; 14 Player Roster Fantasy Football: 4Aces FFL https://www46.myfantasyleague.com/2026/home/70970 Royal Flush FFL - 1 opening - 1 or 2 QB, 1 Def, 1 PK, 6 or 5 flex; 15 Player Roster Fantasy Football: Royal Flush FFL https://www43.myfantasyleague.com/2026/home/34876 One player Taxi squad, bye week players only.

Things to think about: Have you ever been in a H2H league where every week it seemed like you caught the high score team? You had one of the highest point’s totals in the league, but couldn’t even make the playoffs? Ever been in a Division where there were several good teams while other Divisions had teams that mostly sucked? Still couldn’t make the playoffs? Ever have noncompetitive owners run a fire-sale trade to get key keepers for next year? Did that hurt your playoff experience? Well, if you answered yes to any of those, perhaps one of my Total Points leagues would be right for you. Check ‘em out. Thanks Gary Quote
FFTBEVO Posted February 16 Author Posted February 16 Ask Microsoft CoPilot AI: What are the pros and cons of a total points fantasy football league? A total points fantasy football league has its own unique dynamics compared to the traditional head-to-head format. Here’s a breakdown of the pros and cons: Pros More strategic lineup decisions: You're competing against every franchise each week Consistency is Rewarded: The league standings are based on the total points accumulated throughout the regular and playoff seasons, so owners with consistently strong performances are rewarded. One bad week won't ruin your season nor playoff chances. Reduces frustration of losing despite having the second highest score of any given week, which becomes a good thing. Less Luck-Dependent: Unlike head-to-head leagues, where matchups can be won or lost due to weekly scheduling variance, total points leagues mitigate the impact of luck. Engagement Throughout the Season: Every point matters, so even if an owner falls behind early due to injuries or poor drafting, they have a good chance of still climbing the standings by effective roster and starter management in subsequent weeks when injured players return and rookies and free agent pickups start producing. Like the real NFL, the (14 week) regular season in this League is about making the playoffs. Each owner is playing for a playoff spot with a top 5 in Total Points. More fair - The team with the best overall performance across the season, including the playoffs typically wins. Cons Lack of Weekly Drama: Without head-to-head matchups, the excitement of weekly rivalries and close wins is missing as well as strategic adjustments, like targeting specific opponents. Early Dropouts: Teams that fall far behind in points might lose interest, as catching up can feel daunting. Less social interaction - Fewer opportunities for trash talk and rivalries Less resembles real NFL regular season format which is based on wins and losses If you’re someone who values fairness and consistency, a total points league might be a great fit. But if you thrive on the drama and unpredictability of head-to-head matchups, it might feel a bit flat. Which format do you prefer? Quote
FFTBEVO Posted February 28 Author Posted February 28 In these leagues all owners play all 18 weeks of the NFL football season, plus, there is the no cost Playoff challenge that runs during the NFL playoffs through the Super Bowl. So, there are plenty of chances to win some money while staying engaged throughout the entire NFL football season. The uniqueness of these leagues doesn’t stop there, take a closer look, you just might find something that appeals to your FFB style. Gary Quote
FFTBEVO Posted March 7 Author Posted March 7 If you like an FFB Format that features challenging draft strategy with flexible roster management, these leagues provide that in abundance. All RB, WR, and TE slots are flex. That means 5 or 6 positions that you can start any of the three. Yep, you can start 5 RBs if you have them. Normally it is not the most productive alignment, but you have the flexibility to do so. Don’t like TE’s, don’t draft any. That changes a lot of the usual draft approach and provides a new view of selecting starters each week. The FFB strategies the expert analysts suggest, such as zero RB or WR, may not be a good fit in this structure. If you have questions, post here always glad to talk Fantasy Football. Gary Quote

FFTBEVO Posted Thursday at 04:41 PM Author Posted Thursday at 04:41 PM Much has been said about Total Points leagues being boring, or about how owners who fall behind early lose all hope of catching up. Fair enough. These leagues do reward preparation — experienced owners who invest time in draft strategy, monitor injuries, track roster moves, and manage their teams actively tend to come out ahead. And yes, a little luck never hurts. But none of that is unique to Total Points formats. Those same habits separate the contenders from the also-rans in any fantasy league structure. To put it plainly: some years even the most diligent owners simply don't have the horses and end up bankrolling luckier competitors who do. That's fantasy football, regardless of format. Total Points leagues aren't for everyone — not because the format is flawed, but because consistent success requires consistent effort. Owners who prefer to lean on luck will find that uncomfortable reality in any league. Total Points just makes it harder to hide from. Gary Quote
