Most points in a fantasy loss?

Worst. Year. Ever. 16 man league with IDP. Weekly score of 150 usually gets you the win. Lost this year with 168, 169, 188, 194, and, in the cruelest league loss in its 27 years of existence, a 231-213 coup de grace that eliminated me from playoff contention. Damn global warming! We have a team break 200 for a week maybe two or three times a season. Going to finish between 2nd and 4th in points and have a losing record. Can’t complain too much because I have snuck into the playoffs with crappy total points plenty of times, but it’s like all the fantasy karma hit me in a single season. 

 

OUCH!

Sounds like victory points should become the new standard if you ask me.  It's very random with the current week to week setup.  At least it would impose a little more fairness into the equation while still keeping head to head matchups relevant 

I have absolutely no idea why anyone who plays in a serious league wouldn't use VP's.

The extra work required to handle it for one. We use CBS and I didn't see a way to implement it there, so it would require doing it by hand. Which means the web site standings don't reflect the true standings (if do standings on VP). I think its a good system, keeps some element of head to head but removes some of that luck factor with the scheduling. 

 

Not sure if I'd consider our league serious, $100 buy in, winner gets about $400, some people take it really serious, others seem far less involved.

Lol my nightmare scenario came true with that AP 90 yd TD.  I will now be 126-17 overall, and will be 9-4 and miss a bye.  I played the worst possible schedule, if I was any other team I'd be 11-2 or better.  Actually one team I'd be 10-3.  I won 6 weeks out of 13 outright in my 12 team league.  :rant:

Just for fun I asked a math nerd what my chances were of finishing as poorly as I did given my overall head to head record.  1 out of 27 chance. Or in other words,  96.3% of the time I would have had a better record.  Eg 13-0, 12-1, 11-2, or 10-3. So you have company my friend!
