Update on Playoffs/length of regular season.

Here are a few changes to the schedule of the game and an explanation on how the playoffs are going to work.

The regular season is going to last 11 weeks instead of 10 (now ends the week of December 10th).
Playoffs will be the next two weeks with the championship match being the week ending December 24th.

The top two players from each league during the regular season will advance to the playoffs. The first week of playoffs the #1 player in the blue league will play the # 2 player in the green league the #2 blue league player will play the #1 green league player. The winners of those two matches advance to the championship match the following week, and the winner of that match will be the winner of the overall game.

I'll be posting more information about how the “free agents” work later, but for now know that you will not be able to choose free agents during the playoffs. So your team as of the last week of the regular season is the team that will compete during playoffs if you make it.

During the regular season there are 11 players in both leagues, but I am going to be adding in a 12th, Mr. Average. Each week someone will be playing against the average totals for all players in their league. When I did the league last year I thought that would be an interesting thing to look at, so I'm adding it in this year. If somehow “Mr. Average” does really well in a league and is one of the top 2 players, the 3rd player in the league would get to go to the playoffs.

I'm going to be posting the weekly schedule for the regular season right after this post.

I will be putting this information in one of the top posts after the draw is over, but I didn't want to make those posts more confusing while they are still going on.
