Hi fellow de-gens,
Are you 3-7? Are we ~6 teams of 12 make playoffs but you’re in 10th place with everyone else 5-5 or better? Do you need 5 teams to lose out just for you to have a shot on cumulative tie breaker?
How are we handling a must-win for the next 7 weeks? Every week essentially a playoff game? Are we blasting our final faab? Are we tanking because we’re in a keeper or reverse results draft order? Or are we fighting til the last second grasping for oxygen as the titanic slowly fills up with water, while the band continues to play? Praying for a tie between two other bubble teams so you can leapfrog?
It’s not entirely inconceivable, it’s been done, but with schedules falling the way they are, certain matchups where one of the teams HAS to win, essentially eliminating you?
PLEASE TALK ME OFF THE LEDGE !!
My league has introduce a new rule that top 2 in each conference make the playoff regardless of record. The three guys vying for that coveted final playoff spot with 2-8 records are getting read for battle
Despite clearly not being fair it has kept the season really competitive, almost everyone still has a chance to make or miss the playoffs
