bwebs13 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 How do you do your money breakdown in a $ league? Option 1 Winner Take All Option 2 1st = all (minus 2nd winnings) 2nd = double the entry fee Option 3 1st = all (minus 2nd and 3rd winnings) 2nd = double the entry fee 3rd = entry fee Others (please explain) I like Option 3 the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Elf Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 For the leagues I win, I prefer Option 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Depends on number of teams and other factors. Do I want; Weekly prizes? Regular Season prizes for best record/division champ? Regular Season prize for points scored? Playoff Prizes i.e. SuperBowl Champ/RunnerUp? All of those things come into play when determining payouts.

ryharts15 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 My league usually splits the pot in half, winner of regular season gets the first half, and winner of the SuperBowl gets the second 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimmytose Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I think in a 10 team you probably go with Option 2, maybe Option 3. 12 teams or more Option 3. But it all depends on how much you're putting up. If you're putting up a lot of money you can afford to have some weekly prizes and seasonal prizes, but with lower amounts you stuck with mainly just end results.

bwebs13 Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 lets say $50-$100 entry fee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimmytose Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 With $100 you could probably get away with a small prize for the regular season winner and then go with Option 2 (maybe Option 3) for the final standings after playoffs. With $50, I'd stay with Option 2 or 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckyone Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 8 team league is points only league, no head to head records count other than extra 6 points ftw each week. We do it just like #3 above. 12 team league does weekly high points receive small amount, division winners an amount and 1st and 2nd get the remainder 2/3 to 1/3 of total. Plus $5 into each of the confidence and survivor pool winner take all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're putting up a lot of money you can afford to have some weekly prizes and seasonal prizes, but with lower amounts you stuck with mainly just end results. The amount you are putting up is irrelevant. If you are splitting it 50%/30%/20% it doesn't matter if it is a $10 league or a $100 league, the same split is made. Same for weekly prizes, you could have X% go to weekly prizes then divide the rest up for the various winners. The only thing the amount of buy in has to do with it is the gross dollar amount of payout, but it has very little to do with the ability (or the lack thereof) to split up the prize pool however the league sees fit.

While I do not disagree with your mathematics, %s are everything I understand. I would not personally entertain a league where it was a $50 buy in with that much activity per week. Yay so everyone gets a piece of my pie if I'm the winner? No thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
