Sigh, pretty sure my playoff probabilities went from ~1% to zero.

Commish, is next season's draft order determined randomly, or is it tied in some way to final standings?  I like the league I'm in where draft order is determined by standings in the consolation bracket (win consolation bracket, get #1 pick next year), then reverse order for playoffs (league champion gets last pick).

In short, if we don't have a draft-order policy, could we consider one?

currently, draft order is random. 

we have the option of specifying a draft order, and as always i'm here to implement the will of the group.  in our league, consolation bracket is between #5 - #8.  should the winner of that get first pick?  what about #9 - #12?  they don't officially have a post-season, but those 4 teams continue to score in weeks 15 and 16 - should that winner of that "virtual playoff" get first pick, or the winner of 5-8?  if not, should the 9-12 winners come after 5-8?  if someone drops out and we have a newbie, when do they pick?

BTW, as someone who picked 11th this year, i don't think that having first pick is a huge advantage.  picks 1, 2 and 3 are currently in 9th, 12th and 10th position... top of the league, in order of pick, is 5th in first place, the 11th, 10th and finally 12th pick in fourth.  based on this year's outcome, i don't want first pick ;D

Smallest margin in a win, ever?? Maybe!

last year, my other league's 2-week fantasy championship came down to a 0.2 difference.

but telling a fantasy football story is just as interesting as telling a gambling story, so congrats on your win.

Graham couldn't quite do it, but myself and Sweetcell have basically clinched playoff spots due to total points as tiebreaker. Looks like four teams alive for final two spots.

yeah, i don't see any scenario where you or i could finish any lower than 4th (short of Pigskin&Pigtails6949 scoring 210 more points than me, or 220 points more than you... not very likely).

so now we jockey for position and figure out who our dance partner is going to be.

that loss by .12 could really screw me in the long run!

could screw you in the short-term: there is a scenario where you end up in 5th position next week... had you won that 0.12 game and booker lost, your situations would be reversed and you would have punched your ticket to the playoffs.

and so the playoffs begin.  BookerT (1) vs. team salty (4), who just basely squeaked by Pigskin&Pigtails6949 to get in (3 points!).  my New Jersey Barebacks (3) will face yada's Something Witty (2), who needed a win last weekend in order to make it in - and got it by beating me.  he got me by 3 points, a number of my players under-performed, so i look forward to the rematch. i am thankful that i don't have to face bookerT in the semis.

in the consolation round it's K8teebug's Pigskin&Pigtails6949 (5) vs. scumbag steve(wizzle) (8th), and  crevers' We Are Both Carls (6) vs. Brian_Wallace's RghGirlsDelicateBoys (7).

#9 thru 12 have their own unofficial playoff.  you aren't matched up by Yahoo, but your teams are still scored so do play on for the next 2 weeks.  ;D's Godieinhell2 (9) vs. jeffml's Crump's Brother (12) & killsaly's Cassius Claymore (10) vs. Hoya Paranoia (11)
