I'm gonna take a shot at this.

Call them "Hall of Fame" points, or "Uber" points, or whatever.

Here's my plan for what is gonna be a rather ambitious project and one for which I make no guarantees that I'm gonna complete:

First, I'm going to categorize each of the fantasy games we've played since Baseball 2003.

I don't know how many categories there will be until I'm done, but I'll look at factors such as the importance of the sport itself; the length of the season; and whether it requires daily or weekly participation, or if it's a "one-shot" game.

So games like Salary Cap Baseball and Basketball (and I'll include Yahoo Football; even though it's not a daily game, we all consider it one of our "majors") will be the highest rated, something like Salary Cap Football or the NBA, NFL and College Football Pick 'Em games might be second level games, something like a weekly golf game might be rated lower since golf isn't considered as important as football or basketball, then stuff like Bass Fishing and NASCAR, since those sports are even less important than golf, and the lowest rankings might be for those one-shot games like the NFL and NBA Draft games.

Then, if there are say 6 categories, the most important games will be rated a "6", and the least important a "1", with everything else in between.

Then, the importance of each individual game (like 2003 Sal Cap baseball vs. 2004 Sal Cap Baseball) will be dermined by multiplying the game's "level" by the number of participants.

So if we had 12 particpants in 2003 Sal Cap Baseball, that game would be rated a 72 (12 x 6), but if we only had 8 particpants in Sal Cap Baseball in 2004, then that year's Sal Cap Baseball Game would only be worth a 48 (8 x 6).

Then, I will award 3 points for finishing first, 2 points for second, and 1 point for finishing third.

So the winner of 2003 Sal Cap Baseball would get 216 points (6 x 12 x 3).

And if something like Bass Fishing winds up as the second lowest level rated game, worth a "2", and we had a game with 5 participants, then the wimner of that game would get 30 points (2 x 5 x 3).

The only thing I'm not sure of is how to treat the ESPN Salary Cap Baseball & Basketball games, and all of the others which are divided into segments.

I would say give half as many points to the winner of each segment, but what happens when someone wins the overall championship without winning either segment, which is gonna happen one of these days.

I expect feedback from JG, DM, and possibly DB on this...... \:D
