MFL Feedback needed

so want to change the bonus for correctly picking the underdog to win to a flat 50 points. right now it is difference in poll+difference in replies+25 points. everyone cool with it going to a flat 50?

also, would like feedback on a playoff system. do you want a traditional style of:
- 1 seed vs. 8 seed
- 2 seed vs. 7 seed
- 3 seed vs. 6 seed
- 4 seed vs. 5 seed

or a system where closer seeds match up initially, with weight given to higher seed? by that it'd be:
- 1 & 2 seeds get byes in first 2 rounds
- 3 & 4 seeds bet byes in the first round
- 5 seed vs. 6 seed to advance to 2nd round
- 7 seed vs. 8 seed to advance to 2nd round

reply to let me know please.

p.s. thanks to tsuyoi's suggestion, will now send out a newsletter mail blast letting you know when fights are live to watch. this happened after the last match-up

+25 more to make it to 50 sounds cool!   I think this might make people think more about their MFL betting polls and replies.   

>> ....playoff system
Hmmmmmmmm.......sorry I don't quite understand how it works.........would you please give an example please?

on the playoff system ideas...

option 1 basically makes the teams with higher standings go against the teams with lower standings.

option 2 gives the top teams some reward for their winning, while also making the other teams go against others close to the same number of wins/losses.

Thank you for your explanation!

So, I think we can try option 2 to try to minimize some "dominant fighters", hence a more fair game.......

- 3 & 4 seeds bet byes in the first round

- 7 seed vs. 8 seed to advance to 2nd round

can somebody explain me what does this means???

@ mistah jorge...

well, the point of that is to give a reward to teams that did better in the regular season, as well as give closer matchups for everyone. in the other format, odds are lower for any of the seeds 6, 7, and 8 to advance into 2nd round.

it'd work like this:
3v4 winner vs. 2nd seed

5v6 winner vs. 7v8 winner; with their winner now facing 1st seed

then the 2 remaining winners face in the final.

Option 2 looks good
