Tie-Breaking Rules Change

I have used my Commissioner powers to change the tie-breaking method for playoff games, since we really do need a tie-breaker in the playoffs, and I think the decimal system is the most fair first playoff tie-breaker. Here is what the current tie-breaking method for playoff games:

If a playoff game is tied the following steps will be used to break the tie:

1. Recalculate score using a decimal system. 0.1 pts. per yard rushing and receiving, 0.05 pts. per yard passing.
2. Most touchdowns scored among all starting players (including K and Defense).
3. Most field goals.
4. Most extra points.
5. Coin toss.

I also think we should have a league vote for installing a tie-breaking system to regular season games next season. The way I see it we have three options, leave it alone and have no tie-beakers, just use step one and have a rare tie from time to time, or use all the steps and never have a tie.

Instead of voting for all three options and possible splitting the votes of people who want a tie-breaker between the two tie-breaking options, we will just vote whether or not to have a tie-breaker this week, and then next week vote on what tie-breaker method if necessary.

After this post I will put up a poll, so go and vote!
