Rule Changes
We will vote on any Rule Changes in the coming Week.
Rule Change from Last Year: Next Year’s Draft Order will be determined by this Year’s final standards. The Order does not mean Draft Position Specifically, but means the order you get to choose your position. The Position will be chosen Super Bowl Weekend. Here is how it will work.
| Final Place (after Playoffs) | Draft Choice |
| 1 (Champion) | 12 |
| 2 (Lose in Ship) | 11 |
| 3 (Win 3rd Place Game) | 10 |
| 4 (Lose 3rd Place Game) | 9 |
| 5 (Win Consolation Game) | 7 |
| 6 (Lose Consolation Game) | 8 |
| 7 (Winner of Losers Bracket) | 1 |
| 8 (Second in Losers Bracket) | 2 |
| 9 (Third in Losers Bracket) | 3 |
| 10 (Fourth in Losers Bracket) | 4 |
| 11 (Fifth in Losers Bracket) | 5 |
| 12 (Last in Losers Bracket) | 6 |
Roster Analysis
Here is where I will put the weekly roster rankings. These rankings are based of the average weekly rankings (of multiple weekly ranking sources) for each position and the starters only for each team. Instead of being 1-12, I will use the weekly rank for each player. I feel like this is better because some owners may be starting guys farther down the rankings due to injuries, bye weeks, or other teams just having better guys on their bench. It rewards owners with better benches by forcing other teams to play worse guys.
*Also, most of the year I plan on doing the Update Thursday so it will be based on starting lineups then. If people have not updated their lineup from byes and injuries I will assume the ‘best’ available bench player will be started.

Coaching Analysis
This will start after the first week of games is played. I will simply compare what each team’s starting lineup produced compared to what their ‘perfect’ starting lineup would have produced. I will keep track of each week and a season long tally. This will not take into consideration Free Agents. Only rostered players.
Weekly Rankings
I changed the power ranks up a good bit this year.
First, the 6 categories that go into calculating the Power Ranks are as follows.
Your Starters Value for the upcoming week, Win-Loss Streak, Points from the last 3 weeks, FantasySP Full Team Rating, and FantasyPros Team Rankings. All of these things are added and divided by 6 to get your average rank. From there I just rank 1-12.
You will see that two of the 6 categories are not simply 1-12 ratings, but have some decimals. This year I created an algorithm for these categories to show you how close or far you are from the people in front and behind you. For Instance, you will see below that CHAMPS have a Starter ranking of 9.44. The team above them, Suck My Ditka, has a 9.01. The team below them, Mountain Men, has a 12. This essentially mean that CHAMPS are much closer to jumping ahead of SMD than the Mountain Men are to jumping ahead of the CHAMPS. In short is shows how far away from the pack the Mountain Men really are.
Enough Talking…
