I think I'm over tired. Been up since 6:00 am this morning. I get so tired easy now and my doctors say it will be 4-6 months before all get all my strength and everything back. I'm having a real hard time getting back to my old self and I have to be careful I don't get too upset or stressed.

Click on LM tools tab
Click on League settings
Click on Edit in the Regular Season setup
Check the box next to bonus wins and losses

It would suck if we can't do that! Makes no sense being that its an ESPN feature. I don't know if the league pre-existing this feature (2022) has something to do with it, but my fantasy hoops league started in 2016 and the feature was added to it.

Won't matter. It won't get the votes before the draft. I've been running my own money leagues for years and I would never vote for that setting change.

Just out of curiosity, why not?

Theres nothing more annoying in fantasy sports than finishing a week 2nd or 3rd and losing, while some other A-hole finishes 10th and gets a W. Having that feature helps reward or punish weekly performance more accordingly

Yeah, I think it's a good idea. If you finish the season in the top 3 or so in points and end up 4-10, that's kind of ridiculous

Its your guys world and im just living in it so im down for whatever. Playoffs though is best served as top 6 get in, with top 2 get byes. But im ok with whatever everyone wants to do.

Yeah, I thought about that one, but even though byes are kind of fair, it also kind of sucks not to play a week. Also, the more teams that get in, the longer teams stay vested in the season, because if people give up on the season earlier and don't set their lineups, some teams might get easy wins and impact the standings unfairly.

I did think about giving home court advantage (the higher seeded team) like +5 points though, or +3 points or something. That is an option.

They also have the option of reseeding, which I think makes perfect sense like the NFL does it. Like the best team would get the lowest team that advances, etc.

The leagues I have been running the past 6 years has this feature. All my leagues are 10 team leagues with 2 divisions so that feature has worked out perfectly for me. For some strange reason, having a two divisions league keeps players more engaged longer. I hit the feature where division winners make the playoffs but are reseeded in the playoffs according to record. Haven't had one issue or complaint all these years. For the most part, this league has just about all the most poplar settings. A few more areas could be tweaked imho, but it is still a very good and fair league.

Idk if it matters much because you all are unpredictable lol so i am sure the draft board will be shaken up early.
