Phazool Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I am the commish of a 12 team league. We have been in playing together for 3 years. We have a Standard PPR league. The reason for this post is to see how many playoff teams most 12 team leagues have. We currently have 4 but I am trying to convince my league to expand it to 6. So far more than half the league agrees but I want everyone to be on board. I don't want some guys angry about the change. One of the owners who disagreed with the expansion posted this as his reasoning: " in a 12 team league a .500 team should not make the playoffs and no way half of the teams in the league should. it makes the regular season much less important when 6/12 make the playoffs whatever the reason for your record at the end of the year, the teams who performed best in a 14 week regular season should get the chance to win money" I would like to know from my fellow huddlers if having 6 teams is against the norm. Please reply with how many teams you have make the playoffs in YOUR 12 team league. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phazool Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 I appreciate your help. Is there anywhere that I can get an even larger sample of this? I want these guys to really feel secure about making the change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zooty Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 5 leagues that are 12 teams all have 6 in the playoffs. I was once in a 10 team league that had 8 playoff teams but that's because we all knew head to head was stupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.K.Trey Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 is anyone else gonna point out that you shouldn't be makking leauge decisions like how many playoff teams there will be in week 9 of the regular season ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
untateve Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Dash-4 has six playoff teams. However, this league, which has been in existence for 11 years, is a free league. Six teams in the playoffs keeps everyone's interest. Typically, most teams are still mathematically alive going into our last regular season game (the last regular season game is a double header). I've been in a $$ league that also had 6 playoff teams, but we also gave $$ out for the top scorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirdmanJones Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 3 div winners + one wild card. And a healthy payout for the toilet bowl winner (playoff week 15 & 16 point total) keeps them interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montster Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I'm in two 12-team leagues. One's a dynasty where six teams make the playoffs. The other is a local where I'm commissioner. Last year was the first time we had 12 teams. Six teams made the playoffs. This year we switched things up (from a suggestion I got last year on this board). Three divisions: Each of the division winners plus a wildcard makes the "championship round," so four teams advance for the big money. Middle four teams compete to win their entry fee back. Bottom four compete for the toilet bowl. We'll see how it goes, but currently, one of the division leaders is the seventh-best team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
