NYBest 2016 Rules Changes

League Dues amount (Rule 5A)

Leave it at $100.

$123 (original league year, 2005, dues adjusted for inflation)

$150

$175

$200

Divisions: (Rule 4A and 4B)

Leave as is: randomly selected after draft each year

Organize by actual geography (sort of?) NJ, NYC, Other, etc.

Blow it up and do away with divisions…or would require updating playoff selection rules.

Aggregate Record: (Rule 5C, and 4E)

Leave as is

Eliminate regular season aggregate record champion, and instead the highest regular season aggregate record (that is not a division champion) gets the 4th playoff spot. The $180 now goes into the league champion payout amount.

Weekly Prizes Elimination/Runner up Prize (Rule 5B, and 5D)

Leave as is: each week top score gets $20

Eliminate this rule. Money now goes into 1st/2nd place payout ratably.

Eliminate this rule. Eliminate 2nd place prize, and now the old 2nd place payout money and this money ($180 + $280) goes to the runner up team, determined by most points scored in weeks 15 and 16 by the playoff team that is not league champion. $ amounts may be TBD/rejiggered if not going with choice 3b above, so that more goes to 1st place and less to this runner up.

Basement Bowl

No.

Yes. Bottom 4 teams at end of week 14 by aggregate record enter into a 2 week loser playoff. Team that loses both weeks pays $200, runner up pays $100 into pot for 1st/2nd place.
