Changes

We voted on the following changes for the 2024 season:

Fumble Penalty Removal

Removed -1 point fumble penalty. Players will only be penalized if they lose the fumble (-2 points)

Payout Adjustment

Adjusted payouts to reward 2nd place more

First place: $900 -> $750
Second place: $200 -> $350
Third place: $100 -> $100

Anti-Tanking Adjustment

To prevent tanking, changed the way that the rookie draft order is decided (would not effect 2024 rookie draft):

Non-playoff teams (1 - 6) will be decided by "max points for". This is the amount of points you would have scored if you started the best players on your team.

The winner of the week 15 5th place matchup will be rewarded the 7th draft position. The loser of the matchup receives the 8th draft position.

Draft positions 9 - 12 are decided in the same way. The 3rd place matchup is playing for a $100 prize.

Note: this does not affect the 2024 rookie draft.
