Big Daddy and I have been going back and forth on the following situation.
The situation is as follows:
Two teams tie for the 4th best record (let's say BD and PL since they are in 4th and 5th place). BD beat PL in their head-to-head matchup, but PL has accumulated more points throughout the season.
Who goes into the playoffs with the 4th playoff spot?
According to Yahoo's rules, PL does since the first tiebreaker is overall points scored.
Big Daddy's argument - This is a Head-to-Head League, the head-to-head record should be more important than overall points scored - something I generally agree with.
Anyway, Big Daddy has been asking me to override the system and make Head-to-Head the first tie breaker.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Although I first thought that it couldn't be changed, I played around with the system a bit and I found a way to implement what Big Daddy is trying to say. It's a bit tricky and I don't know if it actually works, but I think it does. If you're interested on how I'll do this, let me know.
My opinion: Although I generally agree with Big Daddy, I wish this was brought up earlier before the season began. It's a bit trickier now since we've all been accumulating points and we can see who has more points than others. My thought is to leave it alone because we all signed up under these rules and have been playing under them since Week 1.
