Consider new rule to allow team who does well, but just has some bad luck, to allow the strongest teams to make playoffs.
This is a rule in a league that will also give points to a team who does better than at least half the other teams that week....so a team who scores the 2nd most points that week, but plays team who scores most points, can still get credit for a good week:
10. League Schedule
A schedule will be created each season by the league software package. We will play 14 games over 13 weeks in a 3 division format of 4 teams each. Each team will play the other teams within their division teams twice (6 games), and the teams in the other division once (8 games) with the non-division games being played as double header on a week that is not impacted by byes, specifically weeks 1, 2, 3, and 11, 12, or 13. When possible, division games will be scheduled on weeks where there are no byes. For 2007, that will be weeks 1, 2, 3, 11, 12, and 13. The Double Header week for 2007 will be week 3.
In addition to the head to head (h2h) schedule above, teams will face a weekly points win/loss (w/l) schedule during the regular season (this does NOT apply during the playoffs). Teams will be awarded wins or losses during the regular season based upon their final starting points on any given week. The top 6 scoring teams each week of the regular season will be awarded a win, while the bottom 6 scoring teams will be given a loss. This is in addition to the results of every teams h2h matchup each week. Thus, on any given week during the regular season, a team could go 2-0, 1-1, or 0-2, or in the case of the one double header week, teams could go 3-0, 2-1, 1-2, or 0-3.
