I'm showing up late to this party but I'll share my story.  I play in a 12-team keeper/dynasty league with head to head match-ups and weird division rules:

QB: Drew Brees
RB: MJD
RB: Frank Gore
WR: Roddy White
WR: Larry Fitzgerald
W/R: Denarius Moore / Felix Jones
TE: Mercedes Lewis / Brent Celek / any hot waiver wire guy
D/ST: Seattle

BN: Rashad Jennings
BN: Nate Washington
BN: Joe Flacco

MJD & Fitzgerald tanking pretty much summed up my year, and the Brees/R. White/Fitzgerald collapse at the end knocked me out of the playoffs.

I can keep three players of my choosing.  I have kept Brees, MJD, & White for the last 4 years (I won the championship once basically because of them), but I can't decide if MJD is worth keeping anymore.

I'm nervous. In five minutes the last game of the FF regular season begins - Texans at New England. I need to win to get the last playoff spot, and I'm presently ahead 113-81.

Sounds good, right?

Not really. My opponent has Andre Johnson & Wes Welker going. I got Stevan Ridley & the NE Defense.

I need the NE secondary to have a big night & shut down Johnson. Welker ain't gonna beat me single-handedly.

Gonna be fun to watch!

That was me too, jamo. After 6 weeks I was 1-5 but 2nd in points. Everyone was having their best weeks against me. But I've been 6-1 in my last 7 to get to 7-6.

See, this is something we do differently in my league...which has been around 25 years, btw...we not only play head-to-head like every other league, but we also give out bonus money for the top point earners, regardless of record. Keeps teams in it up until week 17. Plus we also play nickle a point, which teams from giving up - if you do you just hurt yourself more.

But we don't stop there! We play postseason too. Whoever you got on your roster who's on an NFL playoff team plays for you automatically. We reset the points to zero, and play a separate pool for postseason, points only. Makes the waiver wire the last couple of regular-season weeks crazy as everyone drops their non-playoff players & picks up third-string Tight Ends on playoff teams.

After 25 years we've perfected fantasy football. Ain't over 'til triple zeroes on the clock at the Super Bowl.

    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
