Spain Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 31pts ahead with Mixon to go against Bell, should be plenty for me. With both teams either side of me looking like losing it appears it's enough to not only clinch the 1st round bye but also sneak into #1 spot at the last. Despite Matt Ryan doing next to nothing for me for weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChoppeReid Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 My team has started to run out of gas. Hopefully can get through semi and picking up Elliott from wavers can make the difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marnie Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Avoided relegation by the width of a midge’s pube.3 of us at 6-7 in the Division, well done to GingerSaint who’s 11th hour, 1.63 point victory over divisional rival DensParkNumber1 last night secured his safety with myself and division winner JStrummer.A season to forget for sure 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevchenko Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Hmm, going to have to put a stewards enquiry in to me missing the playoffs?FF’s own rules have me ranked 6th but is seeding me 7th?!I thought 1st tie-break for the league was head to head? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yourself, Andy and Mo had a 3 way tie for the last 2 spots after the head to head TB. Division record isnt considered because its a 3 way tie.

Unless FF have changed in last couple of years (which don’t get me wrong they may have!):We start with a 5 way tie - Head to Head applies only when there is a sweep (literally only just realised this only comes up when you hover over it in Tiebreakers) and as no-one swept, it would jump to rule 3 (as its cross divisional which would negate rule 2 (?)) of PF - which Mo wins - so he should get 5th seed (he is ranked 5th but seeded 6th). We are then left with a 4 way tie for the 6th seed which is immediately settled by Rule 1 as I swept the other 3 teams H2H and as FF is ranking me 6th it appears to have indeed done this...and then seeded me 7th?!(I couldn’t find anywhere that says FF wouldn’t resort back to rule 1 (as it did in previous years) to process the next tiebreak, and I’m pretty sure it is the same as the NFL operates for wildcards. (Again, happy to be shown to be wrong on this as I know they change from time to time!!!)I can see an old reply from a Fleaflicker Admin covering a similar example to the above, but it’s from 4 seasons ago, hence why I can understand if they have changed in the time since, but their actual Rankings suggest it’s still the same! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Is relegation based on position within the division or ranking? I've been shite this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marnie Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Is relegation based on position within the division or ranking? I've been shite this year. In the top league, since we expanded to 16 teams across the 4 divisions, it’s been the bottom team in each division that goes down.Not 100% sure about the lower leagues 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerSaint Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 My team is total garbage. I only won 6 games because of AJ Green and Keenan Allen. Already thinking about next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleaflicker power rank is different to playoff ranking. It may be the case that the top 3 teams from each division make the playoffs. If you look on the playoffs tab, it gives you a breakdown of each time a tiebreaker was used. It looks like all divisional tiebreakers were sorted first (putting Siemian above you, and Ayr Honeybadgers above the others in that division). Then another tiebreaker based on head to head between those two teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then another tiebreaker based on head to head between those two teams. Which totally makes sense as to how to end up with 7th above 6th. However, if you take each position individually e.g work out 1st then once that’s done then look at working out 2nd etc, when you get to 6th place you are left with a 4-way tie which I win on The 1st tie-breaker rule. If it’s 3 from each division then fair enough, but could only see Division Winners being ranked higher, as opposed to 2nd/3rd etc. Just seems daft that the 6 playoff spots are filled by teams ranked 1-5 & 7. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mougie Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 How’s the promotion work as I finished 2nd in rank however first was in my division so I ended up 5th seed?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got a good 400 through at once Kev - Fleaflicker sets up their playoffs based on the tiebreakers. The chain of tiebreaks is listed at the side of the playoff page. Why its not the same as the ‘ranking’ thing they have I dont know 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewbo Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Question specifically for division 1 guys: how have you all found the roster size, scoring, lineup compilation, etc. This season? Just looking to see if theres a way for me to run things smoother going forward and 3 divisions of 14 seems to be a nice round figure. I’ll work out costs and such to see what options we have, but want to start working on it just now so nobody is taken by surprise come the offseason 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That extra player that needs to be started is horrifically bad. Through bye weeks and injuries, it's crazy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noted I should have a proposal ready in the next couple of weeks for how to go forward with it, so if anybody else has feedback before then Id love to hear it (group chat squad your ideas have already been taken, no need to echo them here or itll confuse me ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
