Third Annual Fantasy Football for Stakes and the Troops

I think it's a great idea to let all 6 teams in the loser's bracket in. I can't imagine there will be any argument, and that'd be cool to let Stephen and Jeremy in on the action.
You guys do whatever you want, I'm fine with it.

Yahoo only shows the teams 5-8 playing in the consolation bracket. Do you think we should include everyone (asked to everyone)? If so, how should we do scores?

Ideas:
-Top two teams (no head to head) from this week play next week for "winner of losers bracket"?
-Top two teams (no head to head, BUT, 5th place gets spotted 25 points, 6th, 20 points, 7th 15 points, 8th 10 points, 9th 5 points, 10th 0 points) gives everyone a chance at it?

Just trying to be fair and throwing out some ideas...what you all think?

If you guys want to do something outside of Yahoo! I can keep track of it...I think I am pretty good at that

Or we can leave it alone and let the head to head this week play out for teams 5-8 and then the winners play for the next round.

Ok, here is what I think we should do based on Mark's comment and to be as fair as possible.

all 6 consolation bracket teams are in a running at winning the bracket.

the 3 top scoring teams from this week (week 16) in the consolation bracket will move forward to next week's championship.

The top scoring team from next week (week17) will win the consolation bracket.

This eliminates 3 teams in week 16, and allows 3 chances at the winnings.

If no disagreement, I will keep track of this and post in the thread who moves on and who is out. Good luck to all!

I still like the idea of the top two teams out of 6 going head to head for the consolation prize. Anyone else have an opinion on this?

If you're going to do that, you'd almost have to seed this week. 5, 10, 7 and 6, 9, 8 go head to head, then the winner of those two brackets go head to head in week 17.
I don't think it's a bad idea, and I'd probably vote for it, but I think Cole's setup is more fair to everyone involved and more likely to bear out the fairest result.
Plus it's nice and simple.

We should also set this up at the beginning of the year next year and jam it in the rules. That way a guy can work his matchups for the playoffs and trade/make moves to prepare for week 16 and 17.

I'm not sure how this more simple. If we split into two groups of 3 teams, then it is possible that all 3 teams from one group would score higher than the others. Under this sort of arrangement it is possible to have the highest scoring team playing against the 4th highest, leaving the 2nd highest scoring team out.
