I'm running a 12 team non-keeper H2H-league and trying to figure out how to keep the whole league competative trough the season. This year we gave the winner of the consolation ladder the 13th pick in the draft (snake). For example he could get pick 2, 13 and 24. That gave the end of the season a big kick and all managers we're active the whole season. Is that to much advantage? Also thinking of giving the winner of the consolation bracker 1st and 13th overall (snake draft) so it would be like 1st, 13th, 34th, 35th and so on. 12th place on the draft pick but 1st round pick becomes 1st overall.
Any other ideas? How do your league do?
We're playing for braging rights so we want the prize to be something in the game.
