Anybody know any good randomize sites?

 

[SoShady]

Nope got a lot of options depending on how much work you want to put it. Have seen guys go as far as doing lottery drawings and picking numbers. Or recording/posting videos as they draw out of a hat.

H2H
most points
Power
Least points left on the bench (minor penalty for owners who start the wrong guys to often-buried so far down the tie breaker system it'll never come into play anyways)
Coin flip

Points allowed is nothing but scheduling and luck..not like your defense keeps the other team from scoring

 

[ehb5]

Im fine with anything for the tiebreakers really. What you guys have said all looks good

I meant schedule sites

Breakdown is hands down the best tiebreaker. That is your record against all other teams, every week. Points for would be next for me, but I think breakdown should be included instead of either #3 or #5.

Not a huge fan of rewarding an outliar week.

Power is breakdown.

 

[obxyankeefan]

From the look so far I need to move Power up a spot or two. Basically after that it will be rare to get that far.

I really don't like H2H as the top tie breaker. Way too much randomness.

If I play you when your 3 best players are injured or on bye, that sucks for you!

I am against anything that puts too much emphasis on a singe week. I think at least the top 2 should focus on season long numbers: power and YTD points are ideal, IMO

 

[tlance]

Before anybody counters with their pro H2H argument, fantasy is not the same as the real thing. If my football team plays yours, my team can affect your output. Not the case in fantasy. For that reason, I think h2h is basically meaningless. Everybody has good and bad weeks.

 

[femurov]

Be careful when selecting H2H. It may not mean what you think it does. In most sites, it is basically your strength of schedule, meaning that they would take everyone you play and add their win/loss record together. It does NOT mean that if you have the same record as someone else and you beat them in the regular season, you get whatever it is you need the tiebreaker for (playoff spot, higher seeding, division title).

That being said, I like total points as the first tiebreaker and if we are doing decimal points (fractional scoring), the chances are very low that you even need anything past that.

 

[femurov]

And the points allowed should be MOST points allowed. If you're playing teams that are putting up 200 points against you every week, you should win a tiebreaker over a team that is allowing 150, since there is no way to play defense in fantasy.

 

[tlance]

Agree with Femur on both counts.

@femurov sign up for the league. I resent the invite today, let me know if it is not going through.

Listening to this discussion.

New order I will have to do them all manually

1 Power/Breakdown Record VS everyone all year

2 Points scored Season most

3 Points allowed Season most

4 Coinflip. Hope it never gets to this. Because y'all will have to trust me on this one.

With decimal scoring, the odds of it ever getting past total points are crazy high

Love it!

I am fine with either points for or power being number 1. They are both strong tiebreakers.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

This is what I think.

1. Total points
2. Week 17 win/loss
3. Record vs milk
4. Alphabetically based on 4th letter of team name
5. Whoever @broncosmitty wants to win
