New Apps Tab

I hope everyone is ready for the draft this Sunday. Today I added a new “Apps” tab in the top menu. There has been more and more third party apps written for MFL leagues. I am going to try and keep a list of them there. It’s easier than ever to keep up with our league when you are on the go.

Playoff Scenarios

I think I have all the playoff possibilities figured out. There are basically five teams vying for four spots. Since the Greasy Weasels, and San Quentin Saints have the tie-breaker over the Z-Squad they have clinched already. That leaves three teams vying for two spots.

Elvis Impersonators – Clinched divison and 1st seed.

The Wondrful Gazonks – Clinched division and 2nd seed.

Vinny’s Gang – In with a win, or Greasy Weasel or Z-Squad loss, or The Undergarments loss and end up with more total points then The Undergarments.

Greasy Weasels – Clinched at least a 6th seed since they have the tie-breaker over Z-Squad.

Z-Squad – Needs to win and have either Vinny’s Gang or The Undergarments lose.

San Quentin Saints – Clinched at least a 6th seed since they have the tie-breaker over Z-Squad. They win the Division and get the 3rd seed with either a win or a The Undergarments loss.

The Undergarments – In with a win or Greasy Weasels or Z-Squad loss or a Vinny’s Gang loss and they end up with more total points than Vinny’s Gang. They win the Division and get the 3rd seed with a win and a San Quentin Saints loss.

I hope I got that all right. My brain hurts now.

Keeper Deadline Coming Soon

Just a reminder that keepers are due by the end of the day on Saturday, August 1st. I will be on vacation that weekend, so I am not sure if I will able to announce the keepers as they come in, but will try my best.

This year there are three free agents that can’t be kept by their current team. They are:

Larry Johnson – Elvis Impersonators
Ladainian Tomlinson – The Undergarments
Marion Barber – Squishy Fuzz

There are also two players that must be kept because of trade. They are:

Ronnie Brown – Vinng’s Gang – 3rd Round Pick
Kurt Warner – Bad Attitudes – 8th Round Pick

MVP Tie

We had a three way tie for MVP, so I am opening up another poll to try to break the tie. Co-MVPs would be fine, but three? If there is still a tie after this poll, then we will just have three MVPs. I am really getting annoyed by ties this season.

Playoff Picture

The current playoff picture is pretty clear now.

Four teams are left to battle for the last playoff spot. If The Slim Shaggys win they get it. If they lose and The Undergarments win, then The Undergarments are in. If The Slim Shaggys and The Undergarments both lose, and the Greasy Weasels win, then the Greasy Weasels are in. If The Slim Shaggys, The Undergarments, and Greasy Weasels all lose, and The Wondrful Gazonks win, then The Wondrful Gazonks are in. If all four teams lose, then The Slim Shaggys make it.

The Squishy Fuzz have locked up the number one seed and a first round bye.

Elvis Impersonators will get the second seed and first round bye with a win, or Twee Twerps loss.

Twee Twerps will win the division with a win, or Z-Squad loss. They will get the second seed and a first round bye with a win and an Elvis Impersonators loss.

Z-Squad have clinched a wild card spot, but could win the division with a win and a Twee Twerps loss.

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!
