For Yahoo Football, BTW, I think we should divide up the points among the playoff winner, the person with the most points, and the person with the best regular season W-L record.

I'm thinking something like 50% - 25% - 25% for simplicity, or 50-33-17, which is more accurate for a 3-2-1 proportion.

It doesn't strike me as "right" that the person with the 6th best regular season record (because of the luck of the schedule), who finishes, say, 6th in total points, should get all the points for finishing first because he wins the playoffs.

If you want to argue that the playoffs winner is the true "winner" of the game, I'd say , OK, maybe, but we had an "Overall Points Champ" this year which theoretically was as important as the playoff winner, but I'd agree that winning the playoffs is the most important thing, and go with maybe 50% - 25% - 25%, or even 55-25-20 or 60-20-20.

Same in hockey, but with nothing for total points, since it's a roto-style game so you don't always field a lineup with the idea of getting the most points (but, rather, try to put a guy in, when you have the choice and the chance, who is the most efficient in the category in which you need the most help that week - or - you might bench all of your goalies as a strategic move when you have a big lead in the goalie "percentage categories" that you don't need to risk), so I'd go like 70% for the playoff winner and 30% for the regular season winner, or maybe 67-33 or something.
