I think its even worse, I think they plan to delete the earned points in the game and pretend all those players scored zero!

Since it seems like most/all think split the pots on the close games, Thats what we should do. If there was a clear winner (all players decided or team had zero chance to catch, then prize will be awarded and not split.

I will create a summary of all this, and post what the final breakdowns are and commence to send funds.

I think in the future we should come up with a plan for something like this happening. A tie is cool for this year, but I think a better solution would be to award points. I dont think it would be fair to say sub a player of the bench. If missed on burrow or allen, and I had carr on my bench, I dont think they would be a fair comp.

here are the options we could choose.
1: use the previous weeks players score.
2: use the next weeks players score.
3: use the projected points the player was supposed to score.
4: use an average of the previous week, projected week and/or the next weeks score.

If were all in agreement, I will distribute the funds. If you have a preference where you want it to go, let me know. If not I will send it back to paypal payment source. Send me a PM if you have other preferences.

If you want to calculate what I am supposed to send you, (especially if your playing in multiple leagues) add up the each weekly win ($12 x the number of weeks).

the 3 total points winners also add the weekly pot ($72 for pinside and $36 for klov).

then add your 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th place winnings.

thanks for the correction. not sure how I messed that one up...

I tried to make them say ties in both yahoo and nfl, But I think the set tiebreakers in the league keep it from happening. I think we both know chase would have scored more than 8 points, but since your team had the better record, it seems fair. I will finish the lesson next year!

I am working on sending funds now. going back to payment method. If you want something else let me know asap!!

all funds have been sent. If you dont have them let me know asap!! description should say what you won and should match whats listed above.

2 klov players were not sent funds:
1: canuckcade. Let me know what you want to do to canada. I owe you $12.

I know some people will be happy with this, but I think it might be best to transfer klov from nfl to yahoo next year.

Also next year, I will look into making the teams a cash league. I dont think there is a provision for weekely winners, but If I dont pay in and 1 other player pays me directly, then the league will be fully funded at $1200 and I can do the weekly winners manually with the $240. Will see what options are in yahoo once we switch to cash.

I dont think nfl.com has a cash league option. But I will explore that before next season. Also klov next year will switch to 14 week and 3 week playoff like pinside with top 2 teams getting a bye. with some teams not playing in week 14, its not fair for those to scramble to field a good team.

also as I said, we can extend weekly winners to 16 weeks if we wish. I would have to manually calculate high points for the last 2 weeks(the auto counting stops, but it tells us what we all scored weekly), but since all teams can play up to 16, there is no reason to cut it off at 14.

I renewed the leagues. I wanted to see what options there were for having yahoo collect fees and do payouts now that paypal is ratting everyone out for taxes. Looks like they can collect the prize money, they can collect for a total score winner, they can even collect for a win record winner. But there is no provision to do a weekly winner.

I can’t see any way to manually do a payout for a weekly winner. I like the idea of weekly winner. Maybe I could do it outside and collect that $15 directly and let yahoo collect the rest. It appears yahoo takes 2% for their service..

I am also waiting to see what fee collection is available with nfl. I don’t think it has one. If not, I am thinking of moving klov from nfl to yahoo. If it stays on nfl, it will no longer be 2 week playoffs. Nfl pushed bye week into week 14 which left some teams at a disadvantage in the 1st week of playoffs. It will be like yahoo top 2 get 1st week bye. 6 team playoff.

I have never used Zelle, but i will look into it.

I am Not interested in any other sports other than nfl football to care to play them. If any of you guys want to try, thats cool, but i am out.

been busy, but I looked a little into this. My bank does zelle. so the question is, how to do this?

do it all with zelle?

Do most with yahoo cash $105 (they keep 2%) and the rest ($15 with paypal for the weekly winners) (yahoo says it will cost $2.10 each)

I like the yahoo cash option as it probably allows various payments for the players.

what do you guys think? I like weekly winners, but if you want to end it, thats fine too.

also for the nfl.com players, do you want to move to yahoo? I dont think nfl offers a cash league setting.

I was ready to hit the yahoo cash league switch when I saw you have two methods to pay it paypal or credit card. It will be $107.10 Does everyone have a means to make the payment between those choices?

That would be $100 for entry an $5 for top scoring team and $2.10 for yahoos fees.

This will take care of the highest score getting $60(I put $35 above in a brain fart). But I don’t know how far out the highest score will run. I would think it would logically end at 1st week of playoffs week 15. but it might run to week 18!

Or we can do the weekly winner and the highest scoring winner with paypal so we can control it.

So one suggested doing away with weekly winners. What do you guys think?

Last thing to decide is the draft days season stars sept 7th.

I will set the draft days for klov Friday sep 1, pinside sat sep 2 , and pinside ballers Sunday sep 3. all at 6pm pst. If there is a problem, let me know. Maybe we can go +-30 min or flop days for the leagues.

Both pinside leagues are now cash leagues. If you go to the league like normal, it will prompt you to pay before you can get into see the league. I emailed all of you from inside the leagues. If you did not get, then your blocking the messages or you email is not setup.

It’s $107.10 to enter its broken down like this:

Entry Fee: $105.00
Payment Deadline: Before draft
Number of Teams: 12
First Place: $750 (59.52%)
Second Place: $275 (21.83%)
Third Place: $125 (9.92%)
Fourth Place: $50 (3.97%)
Most Points: $60 (4.76%)
You will need to pay $107.10* when creating this contest.

Your choices are credit card or PayPal. The league page will say who has or has not paid. I dont think you can look at the page without paying. Last year in cash leagues, i think it took 1 week after the season for yahoo to payout

I will handle the weekly winners manually. It will run 15 weeks.
So send $15 to my paypal (contact me if you need my paypal email. It has not changed in 30+ years).

Please include your team name and your league in the text. If you’re sending for multiple leagues, send names for all the teams.

Kevin, if one of those days is better for you than the other, let me know and we can swap it. But the last time the league auto drafted an open team out of the 12 slot it made a killer team! So much so people were trying to buy in to take it. I did not think it was fair to have someone buy it, so I let a nubie take it over, but they could not win prizes. It probably would have won that league with an experienced manager, but it also had some key injuries that kept it out of the top 4.

You know you can influence your draft by moving players up and down in your pre draft rankings. Unfortunately I don’t think you can tell yahoo how to draft like some leagues. In those leagues you can indicate round preference like rd1 wr, rd2 rb, rd3 te, rd4 wr, rd5 qb, ect. It will take best available based on your rankings in that slot.

As for the klov nfl league, my buddy asked me if it could stay on nfl.com. So unless he changes his mind, I think I will keep it there. The league is now switched to top 2 teams getting a bye week 1 of playoffs just like yahoo and playoff rounds are now 1 week starting week 15.

So that will be $70 for that league. $50 and $20 for weekly winners.

thats weird. I did not ask that for me. Once I activated cash league. it instantly asked me to pay. it showed a screen of credit card(had my credit card info from when I did a public prize league last year), or paypal. Offered me a chance to change credit card too.

I will poke around and see if there is a request payment button. I might add 2 teams and then give a join link and see if that helps..

i think you need to edit your yahoo wallet to increase limit to the $107.10 amount. I could not add teams or mail a link.

or you might have to put money into your yahoo wallet and then try to join.
