Option 2 for me,this league thing needs a whole new spin on it.
Good point by Andy! Lets divy up team winnings amongst all team players that play that week.For anything team related the need to eradicate individual gain surely is the way forward.Its a promoted as a team league so lets play by that,even with all the hideous"s that team play entails.

I kind of agree.... however once a team has no chance of winning, there is no incentive for people to play, and that can spoil the dynamic for the teams still in the running.... the individual element ensures that [most] people will continue to play.

True Steve, unless there"s an end of season final where most teams are guaranteed (by design) to have some sort of chance. I vaguely recall that"s how we did it a few seasons ago. Top few teams played a final. If we do go down that route though I would rather the final should be seeded in some way, rather than top x teams playoff on equal stacks.

I would also like to suggest a mechanism where all $$$ won in any week is divided amongst the members of the team that play (if small teams) or perhaps score points that week.

Having twice been the only member to cash in the forum event on a team that had agreed to split all winnings, I can tell you that it isn"t much fun when every £100 extra you ladder means another £6.25 for you.

Good point.
Would it have worked better if it were only shared out amongst point scorers? Or perhaps the top 10 from your team?
Whatever, this is a team game and so the individual prize for winning should not have as great an effect on the dynamic of the weekly game as it has done at times in the past.
You could go as far as scrapping weekly payouts altogether and use the cash to pay each team a share based on their finishing position in the league. In the football Premier League all teams get a "prize" even Birmingham the team that finishes bottom. Or use it to fund the prizepool for a final etc.

Yes - at last!
This thread has gone on for far too long without the inevitable football analogy. Thanks for bringing things back to normal Andy.
