I'm sure I'm not the first rocket scientist to share this, but I do not join 16 team leagues any longer.
Fact:
*You only have 4 teams who make the play offs instead of 8.
*You get paid for one less round of play offs.
*Your chance of making the play offs is 25% instead of 33% in a 24 team league.
*Then to top it off, you get paid less for each play off series win.
*So even though your chance of a championship is 1 in 16, since you have a lower chance of making the play offs, it feels like a smaller chance at the championship. Can't win if you don't play in the play offs. And yes, one less round of play offs makes it a better chance to win it all.

Did I say I don't like it?

hey thanks. It's tough getting old. At least I went back and read responses. My problem is I post something rarely and sometimes forget to even check responses . It's funny right before you posted I was reading some of your believe it or don't!!

I lose my keys about once a week now.  I know how it is.
