Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

Should the 7 point Home FIeld Advantage be kept or eliminated?

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

Too lazy to set up a poll?

I vote to eliminate. I guess.

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

Sorry, musta caught you mid thread set up.

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

You can't see poll above?

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

Brian,

Why'd you waiver from your earlier comments supporting HFA? Just curious.

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

if we keep it i would like to have a second vote to have it applied for the entire year.

either we use it 100% of the time or we remove it completly.

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

That'd be kinda cool actually IMO.

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

i just think if you are going to arbitrarily award points you need to do it consistantly.

since we have decided to give points for things not done on the field i have some other suggestions:


Its your birthday you get 10 extra points
You got in a car accident -5 points
You had a kid +25 points
You took a piss and didnt get any on your pants while shaking off+50

Bewrae bitterSkippy

BTW I think you're a :wolf: this game.

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

I just added a 3rd option for HFA in the regular season and the playffs. If you'd like to change your vote please post here and I'll edit the numbers in the poll to reflect it.

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

heh. for some reason i always think you are a wolf.

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

I'm :confirmed: this game. :)

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

not on my list yet. ;) but you pretty much need to be dead or have an uncontested verified roll claim to be verified on my list.

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

FYI our dead seer proxied to me... that's usually a good sign as to what he felt/knew

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

maybe

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

Did I actually support it? I thought I said I didn't oppose it as strongly as I used to. It is not something I feel strongly enough either way to lobby for or against.

I don't know. If it never came up, it's not an issue, and it never has. I'd just hate to see two evenly matched team play a close game, only to have HFA decide it. I'd also hate to see a team with a great record puffed up by playing against a weak division get that much more help in the first round. I'm undecided. I just can't think of a compelling reason to vote for it, but I can think of several scenarios where I think if it decided a game, I would be upset. Maybe it is just the fair compeptitor in me, but if I was 12-2, playing the 8-6 wild card team, I would think to myself "if I can't beat this team heads up, I don't deserve to move on to the next round."

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

I like the idea of adding this to the regular season (I need all the points I can get and it does make having a "home" game a little more important!)

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

I am not the best at counting but it appears that the tabulations for the voting are off (I am showing as the only person to vote for the regular season/playoff option) but there is a two there. For the top option there are two names but it is showing a 1. Just an FYI...

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

That's because I edited the poll to move my vote from choice 1 to choice 3.

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

so how do i change my vote to having it for reg AND playoffs?

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

I'll edit the poll to reflect the move.

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

You only edited for one vote, not the three that you told me I'd get.

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

Ooh, this is a close one. 4-4.

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

I voted.

HFA throughout.... just makes it a lil more fun.

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

beware of bitter skippy

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

Heh, you helped create this monster. :)

IF this vote comes to pass we'll obviously need to check the schedule. I'm not sure if you guys have ever paid much attention to who is the home team and such on any given week, but this now becomes important.

If we use the same schedule year-over-year, I think simply switching who is home and who is away for every game would make sure that no one gets screwed - i.e. I'm not always going to freaking Buffalo to play Mike every year.

This may be intuitive, but is often overlooked.

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

HFA throughout the year is too much IMO. I'm all for some experiments and rules development, but I'd like to continue with a league that rewards FF skill on a weekly basis as much as possible.

Miserable fantasy football purists.

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

if this passes, please follow up with my other non-football related point suggestions.

TIA

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

**** you all... home field for regular season will be a hoot. Beware the black hole.

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

Who hasnt voted?

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

Smitty

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

Is this seriously happening? :huh

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

so if smitty votes against it we are tied.

what happens then?

revote or are we stuck with what we have now?

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

If he votes to tie it I'll change my vote, how's that?

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

I guess I just put the cat among the pigeons by voting against and tying the vote up.

I may be a miserable fantasy football purist but this just seems too artificial for me. If my team scores more points than the other guy then I should win (and vice versa) there are already too many variables, how many times is the top scorer not the no1 seed going into the playoffs. Surely the advantage would logically be given to that teamm as their own performance was the best in the league irrespective of the quality of the teams they played.

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

Hahaha...

I could careless, just as long as it's consistent through out.

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

As I said - although I think home field would be kinda cool, feel free to switch my vote just to ensure we don't end up in a deadlock. I simply don't care enough to hold firm on it.

Re: Home Field Advantage VOTE
 

With that HFA is now eliminated.

I hope it comes back to haunt some of you naysayers who take all the fun out of things!

;)
