Thanks for the input guys...would like to hear others opinions if they have them too. Jweb1510 used to pitch the kind of format that is currently in place, however I wanted to go in a different direction.
I would have basically expounded on the most recent Chase format, however I would give out bonus points before the Chase started for POINTS STANDING at the end of the regular season, so along with the 3 per win...
1st - 12
2nd - 10
3rd - 9
4th - 8
5th - 7
6th - 6
7th - 5
8th - 4
9th - 3
10th - 2
11th - 1
12th - 0
I had a problem with a format where the team/individual that finished first at the end of the regular season could/would start 12th in the standings and vice versa. Going for wins is important, but to essentially disregard points in the process...I don't like it. Like I said, I don't really love or hate the new format right yet, but it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.
