I posted this note on the Yahoo FFL page, but I wanted to post it here as well, and add a little bit to it. Here is the note from the Yahoo FFL page:


"Sorry for being a little late to close the season out guys, I got a little distracted by Starwars: The Old Republic. First off I would like to say grats to Irish on winning his first league championship. It was a great championship run. Secondly I want you all to keep an eye on the VN boards page as I will be posting the end of year survey proposing some very radical changes. The biggest amoung these proposed changes is going to be a new division system, and possibly expanding the playoffs to start in week 13 and include every team. I will talk in more detail about these plans in the end of year survey. The last thing I want to mention is that I plan to run the league again next year, but it might be closer to August before the league is up and running due to the fact I will be out of country for most of the summer next year. Thanks for the great year, and see you all next season!"


In addition to that, if you have any suggestions for changes to the league for next season, please comment here. I will take these suggestion into consideration, and if I feel they are worth discussing I will add them to the end of year survey for the league to vote on. Thanks once again for the great season guys. I will wait about a week to post the end of year survey and potential changes for next year to give people a chance to respond to this post. Please throw out any ideas you have to make the league more competitive and fun next season.

Can you post your scoring system (current)?

If you are looking for another team next year let me know. I haven't actually been in any leagues in the last 2 years due to lack of interest from friends and some other leagues just busting.

imo, i dont think the playoffs should include every team...but that is just me. if you suck in a specific year, (like me) then you dont deserve a playoff berth.

in all 3 of my FFL this year, my teams sucked...kinda mirrored Indy's performance this year. So im hoping to kick everyone's ass next year..well, not hoping...just going to do it!

of course, having every team in the playoffs would prevent teams out of the running from trading all their best players to the two best teams in completely unbalanced trades, effectively eliminating everyone else from winning the league..

as happened this year...

so normally I would be opposed to having everyone in the playoffs, but with this group of players it might just be a good idea.

well if u think trading from bad teams to contenders is wrong, you should complain to all sports for doing the same.

Really? In the real world trades like those don't happen either. NO real world team trades their best players for scrubs because they are having a bad year. In the real world, those teams have to play again next year. In a fantasy football league it unbalances the league with no consequences.

One of the things we are going to vote on is rather or not to turn our league into a keeper league, where you get to keep 1-3 of your players from the year before (We will vote on the exact number if we decide to do a keeper league). This should prevent any game changing players from being traded away. Another option I will propose is to make all trades subject to my approval before they are finalized.

Those trades do tend to happen in Basketball and Baseball imo. But I would agree with you in regards to Football and Soccer.

What 'completely unbalanced' trades are you guys talking about and why didn't people just vote against them?
